Coral Coast, 'Eua, Kingdom of Tonga - a photo on Flickriver

            We loved Tonga, especially its dramatic coasts. This was recorded during an exploration of the east coast of 'Eua (Island), a coast that sits on the edge of the Australia Plate with the Tonga Trench dropping away to a great depth. This means that the free waves from 1000s km of fetch arrive with uninterrupted power and slam into the coast releasing all their energy as they impact the coast. It's awesome to watch. This image was taken as the trough between the big waves exposed the underlying fringe of coral!
