Tania Nugent: All along this northern coastline of Papua New Guinea there are scores of secret surf breaks yet to be discovered by the modern world. The locals of course have known about them for centuries. And it's here you'll find dozens of young natural born surfers.

Jeffery - local surfer: Mi bin stat surf taem mi skul. Mi mas be 8 yias old. Every season on em mi ken surf wan dei tri taims. Every season I come and surf. One day, three times. (I started surfing when I was at school. I must have been 8 years old.)

Daniel - local surfer: I had long mi expressim dispela fillin mi save kisim taim mi stap long solowara or wave. (It's hard to express the feeling I get when I'm in the saltwater or wave.)

Hugo Prabon - President, Vanimo Surf Club: Surfing has been existent here for many year, since I was even born after. Every year that's our culture in west coast villages, we all go out surfing after catching the sea worms, so surfing is not new to this place it has been exist throughout the culture and the centuries of these people.

(Our traditional wood. I started surfing on this and later I surfed on big boards, the white man's board. Before surfing wasn't very big, but when the white man came and made friends with us they gave some for nothing, gave them for free to the local boys.)

Tania Nugent: Lido Village near the provincial capital town of Vanimo is the where modern surfing in PNG was born, it's here that the Surfing Association of Papua New Guinea established its first club more over 20 years ago.

Andy Abel - Founder, Surfing Association of PNG: Over the last 20 years we've seen our young surfers competing overseas for the first time. In 1995 I took our first team to Tahiti for the South Pacific Games and in 2011 we head for New Caledonia and then in 2015 we host the South Pacific Games here in PNG.

Tania Nugent: But Vanimo Surf Club hopes to put what they call "surfing's last frontier", Papua New Guinea, in the world spotlight even sooner, with plans to host surfing's World Qualifying Series in November 2010. It's fuelled the ambitions of the local boys who are hoping secure a wildcard spot in the tournament.

(In our village from day one, the older boys in the village have travel directly from her to overseas, so it has boosted my morale to surf.)

Jeffery: Surf em wanpela bisnis bilong mi long go out long dispel kantri na mekim name. Travel long ovasis. Mi local boi, mi no inap long go long wok moni, em sport ken kisim mi. (Surfing is my business. So I can go out of this country and make my name. Travel overseas. I'm a local boy, I don't have a job but sport can take me.)
