A remote, world-class left in Papua New Guinea's New Ireland Province. Pikinini breaks over coral reef in crystal-clear tropical waters, producing long, hollow barrels. One of the least crowded quality waves on Earth due to its extreme remoteness. Access requires boat trips from Kavieng and a spirit of adventure. PNG's surf scene remains largely unexplored.
