general information

Gem of the Western Pacific. This wave is but one of the hidden secrets of the mysterious island of Pohnpei. remote corners like this are still a little pricey when it comes to travel so plan well in advance. A boat will be required only a short distance from the main town.

Most people coming here to surf will be guess at the Pohnpei surf club. If you arrive via other means, the guys here should still be able to help you out for reef transfers etc. no trip to Pohnpei is complete without a visit ot the mysterious ruins of Nan Madol. an ancient ruin of stone buildings built with incredible skill - there is simply nothing like it in the Pacific and it begs the question.

Was Pohnpei the ancient seat of power in the Pacific - are the legends of the lost continent of Mu true? Are the stone works of Egypt and South America he handiwork of the decendents of Mu and Pohnpei? You will have plenty of time to ponder these questions as you steam through your 10th barrel of the morning at P-Pass.
