The Exocoetus : Png Frontier Surfaris Charter
Where in Png?
PNG Frontier Surfaris operates out of Kavieng in New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea.
The population of PNG is approximately 6 million. In New Ireland Province alone it is 116,000. There are over 800 languages in PNG, 22 in New Ireland Province. Most commonly spoken are Tok Pisin, English and Motu. Most people will speak some English so communication is no barrier. The main religions are Catholic, United Church, Seventh Day Adventist and Lutheran. The day of rest is on Saturday or Sundays depending on faith.
For women it is best to wear longer skirts/shorts, in other words dress modestly. Loose and light long sleeves and trousers/skirts plus a good hat as protection from the sun in the day (also provides good protection from mosquitoes at dawn and dusk).
The Papua New Guinea's climate is tropical, as one would expect in a country located just south of the Equator. December to March is the wet season, although there is rain fall year-round.
The landscape surmises lush volcanic rain forest. The vegetation is a combination of Asian and Australian species. Which is home to an impressive variety of exotic birds, including virtually all of the known species of birds of paradise, and it is blessed with more kinds of orchids than any other country.
Fresh water is no problem, most people living off tank (rain) water, or spring water that gushes out of rock cavities forming rivers out into the ocean. Parts of NIP are dramatically mountainous, forming cooler regions, where a large proportion of garden produce for the region is grown.
Thankfully all volcanoes are now extinct in New Ireland. It’s on the rim of these extinct volcanoes where gold is presently mined. Earthquakes are not uncommon in the Southern portion of New Ireland, as there is a fault line that runs SW to NW.
