Airport Beach Videos, Part 2

     Last Friday - a holiday here due to Flag Day on April17, included a return visit to Airport Beach by myself, Cyndi and sister Suzy who is here visiting.  We met up with a group of palagi friends and headed out to see the coral via snorkel.  To our surprise the waves were huge, much bigger than anyone here can remember, and that includes some Samoans whom we asked.  The blowhole action was incredible.  Here are 4 more videos to show you:

Finally,



Remember, these coral and rock formations are about 15 feet above the sea, so the waves are crashing well over them, maybe 50 feet above the sea level!  It was simply awesome.  No snorkeling, even in the lagoon as the water was too rough.  But this was some compensation!
