Drive to Ambila on the West coast and from there check out the beach - along the 8 miles of coast are some epic waves ranging. Me and 10 of my buddies surfed it with Jesus. Youl probably never surf it because transportation is non existant. Unless your Surfing for God and he gets you there with a miracle like he did us.

here's a mission for you vazaa dala dala - quit trying to globalize and ruin amazing and beautiful cultures with your groping erroneous religion. i spent a good amount of time in Madagascar in 2005, and met some of the most amazing people i have ever met in my entire life. you missionaries are NOT welcome, and all you do is erase the history and essence of what makes the Malagasy people unique. their ancestorial beliefs are fading each time you come and impose on their way of life. i wouldn't walk into the middle of your church with my board, so leave the bible off the beach!!surf's up.
