	Samoa
		Upolu island, one of 2 principal Samoan islands, the other being neighboring Savaii, is a virtual swell magnet with surf on 3 sides: south, east and north.
		The breaks along the South Shore of Upolu Island which Sa’Moana guests surf on a regular basis via the resort’s 28ft and 34ft powerboats are all reef breaks, 2 rights, and 5 lefts, with the exception of 1 rather incredible lefthand pointbreak, Boulders.
		Surfing on the north coast of Upolu involves even more challenging logistics than surfing on the south coast, and since the prevailing winds at this time of year are also north, it makes surfing missions to the north coast far from a sure bet.

		This note is really an addendum to a trip report I posted to Birdchat a couple of years ago, describing 24 hours near the town of Apia on the Western Samoan island of Upolu.
		The Samoa Visitor's Bureau was predictably uninformed; the government Division of Environment and Conservation (e-mail address: manumea@pactok......) claimed to know nothing, but suggested I go to the O le Siosiomaga Society, a conservation NGO with an office in Apia.
		At the Society, I met a local who said he had seen Manume'a a few weeks before, and was the Assistant Project Officer: he offered to take a friend and I to the remote Uadato site (NE Upolu) the next day for US$20 and the price of a rental car.
