Polynesian perfection by

Just come back from a trip to Samoa, in the south pacific. Its an amazing place with the most friendliest people you’ll ever meet, with some amazing beaches and coastlines too.
The coastline where this wave is, got hit pretty hard by the 09 tsunami. But its great to have seen the area almost restored, and the people a really appreciative that you come to their country, because without the tourists support,alot of people would be without jobs.

the guy in the photo (Neil) was actually surfing this break while the tsunami hit. You can read his story here Linked Text
