Big news as the Namotu Island Fiji has announced the return of the World Surf League’s Fiji Pro this year.

After 7 years away, the announcement of the return has brought about excitement in the water already.

In a statement, Namotu Island Fiji says the wave pool is out and Cloudbreak is in.

They say it’s been too long since the last winner Matt Wilkinson won in 2017 and even longer since Parko missed his heat to go fishing and got a little stranded.

They add those were good times and it wasn’t just the surfing that was an annual highlight in the series.

Namotu Island Fiji says this year the competitors will not be staying on Namotu and Tavarua as they did in years past.

They say there will be unlimited weeks scheduled for that period so the competitors will be staying on the mainland.

They add regardless, the return of the WSL is a great thing for Fiji and people are looking forward to watching it from the channel again.

Namotu Island Fiji congratulated Tourism Fiji’s Brent Hill for pulling this off and they are stoked to see the event back on the calendar.
