Playing like we were Mermaids

As the Indies Trader has trekked its way around the globe, picking up and dropping off groups of Crossing adventurers, it was time for the girls to get a couple of weeks of voyaging bliss. After departing from Fiji, the lucky surfers jumped on board and spent one week day-tripping from the Quiksilver Pro at Tavarua Namotu, and the other cruising the Pacific Ocean.

As part of the Crossing’s goals, the girls worded alongside Marine Biologist Sue Brow to assist in monitoring the reefs, while working with The Quiksilver Team to track new and exciting locations. And, of course, there was play – surfing, fishing, frolicking and having the times of their lives.

We asked Amber to Caption this awesome photo selection from the trip.


Having the opportunity to surf with Lisa was amazing! Her surfing really is an inspiration.


When the swell was small Namotu lefts were the perfect wave for Mals. Veronica Kay is all style as she walks to the nose.


In the Tinboat after a surf, worn out!


I (Amber Reason) had to wear a rash vest while surfing for the rest of the trip, to keep the sun off my cuts.


Smiles all round, warm water, good waves, sunshine and good mates!


Rachel Greff, 18 years old from Hanalei in Hawaii. A graceful mal rider with all the moves. Rachel was incredible at Cloudbreak riding a 9' mal with little fear.
