Keith and Lanuola Martin

[more photos]

Keith is an Aussie, married to Lanuola, and together they have three children. Keith is familiar with all the surfing spots in Savaii and uses his van or runabout to get you out to the waves. They are quite happy to have the intrepid surfer who turns up on their doorstep looking for the waves.

Quoting Keith: "For a small fee, we can take you on a day trip to hunt down the best pumping wave of the day"
