        Santosha of the South Pacific

        In 1974 the film The Forgotten Island of Santosha played to surfers in the USA and Australia. 'Santosha' was a supposedly mythical island where perfect, empty waves reeled off under warm sunny skies. Viewers were encouraged to seek their own version of it. The island was, however, Mauritius, located in the western Indian Ocean. The filmmakers created the moniker to protect the location.

        Nigel Eberhardt didn't go so far as to create a new name but he wouldn't tell me the location of these photographs. 'Somewhere in the South Pacific' is all he'd say. That and the fact every session included just he and his two travelling partners, Benn and Casper. No-one else was around. There was nothing much else for Nigel to say, the photos tell the tale, he found his version of Santosha and it was perfect. //STU NETTLE
