- Urchins
The spot is situated on the North of the site. Don't go straight to the wave, there are too much urchins on the coral reef. Go by the left.
The right: Very hollow, tube at the take off, long wall after the tube, close out at the end (kick out before if you don't like to walk on the reef).
The Left: occasionnaly surfed. Dangerous, hollower than the right, for kamikazes only.

Biscottes, débutants blaireaux - la côte est pourrie par les bodyboarders, je surfe depuis 12 ans, je n'ai jamais vu ça, la chiantitude à St Pierre, la chiantitude à St Leu, que les breaks mous où ces descendeurs de vagues fous nous remettent en place verbalement; y a plus de surf à La Réunion!

shark attack - Third shark attack in one week. The latest was here.Bit strange to have a shark come in close here ? I suppose there is no reef and it is next to Baie de St Paul.
