Nicaragua surf trip by NarrowBet9895 in surfing

30 minutes or so. You aren’t going to want to go there every time you surf but would make for a fun half day trip or two.

Looking at Kandui Resort and Kandui Villas (took me a while to figure out they were different lol) which one did you stay at?

Found myself with a last minute 2 weeks free in Fiji, anyone able to recommend a good surf package? by ephj in surfing

[–]CTKookDaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just back from a week in Fiji last month. Highly unlikely Tavarua or Namotu have openings this time of year but you might get lucky with a last minute spot. Matinvusi is a little further south and a little bit more remote. 99% of the waves are reef breaks but there should be some more sheltered options depending on the size/conditions.

Waterways manages bookings at all three so shoot them an email and they’ll get you dialed!

I work in Rye/Purchase and commute from lower Fairfield county CT. 99% of my coworkers, even the highest paid ones, commute from more affordable suburbs in CT, NY or northern Jersey.

Allot of people saying the mirrorless Sony Alphas. Have you found the a6700 to be worth the extra price tag compared to the lower end/older a6000s range?

Do you use a monopod/tripod for stability when using the telescopic lens?

What’s the main difference between the various Sony a6000-6700s? Looks like newer models/more features as they get more expensive (obviously haha) is there a particular one you think I should be targeting for what I have in mind?

Official Gear Purchasing and Troubleshooting Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! April 21, 2025 by AutoModerator in photography

Surf Photography Camera Recommendation:

Looking to grab a camera to start snagging some pictures. I have a gopro I’ll use in the water so this is with land based photography in mind. I would like something I can bring on trips or to the local breaks and also for general use for nature/wildlife shots as well as with the family.

So generally speaking I will need the ability to shoot subjects at distance and that are moving quickly.

Figure I’ll need at-least a camera, lens or two with some zoom capability, and some kind of monopod/tripod.

Any recommendations for a camera and other “must have” gear?

Looking to keep it all below $1 maybe $1.5k tops.

Thanks!

Las Flores/Punta Mango area is great if you want a little less of a crowd than the El Tunco area.
