# Surfing on Rarotonga Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Cook Islands
snapdragon 00:01 UTC 07 May 2010 | Hi- I have a few questions about surfing in the Cook Islands. Can anyone tell me what the surf is like in September? Does anyone longboard there or is it only shortboarders? Also, I read online about a surf shop where you can possibly buy a board and then sell it back? Does anyone know if this is true? Thank you! |

The main reef breaks that I'm aware of on Raro are at Black Rock - social centre beach, Tupapa (about 300 metres from Niki's & directly behind the Ministry Health), and also in Ngatangiia next to the playground at Te Oki Ou School. Niki's Surf Shop website describes board length etc. Google the addy. | 1
