Welcome one and all to Fanifo Lofa – Kitesurf Tonga…we are have had a busy month to say the least. Our last blog was mid June and we had a Birthday celebration with a pig on the spit, some lamb racks and great company. Glen and Alex thought they would decorate the grounds with balloons […]

What a month it has been here in Tonga….we arrived on 7th April and it was just go go go….We ended up spending about two and a half weeks on Tongatapu trying to get through government processes and paperwork….It was very stressful and hard…however we succeeded! We not only retrieved our containers from the customs […]
