Christo to World of Surfing - Please do not surf at Pic du Diable and Ti'Paris, there is a 'station d'épuration'; it does happen that water is really stinky and muddy right there. There have been 4 shark attacks down there. If you windsurf at Ravine Blanche, 50 meters upwind, you gotta know that if you miss the rocks on the left of the 'beach' you go straight to Pic du Diable cliffs. I disagree with Civis which gave its agreement to the contest 'Reunion Wave Classic' at Ravine Blanche.
The Mayor of St Pierre is UMP (RPR);
It was the easiest surfing beach of St Pierre.
Aloha, Christo

SHARK! - Another shark attack 20/08/2006.ST Joseph surfer had his arm removed at the shoulder by a massive shark. The guy is in a critical condition.Pic de Diable is surely one of the most dangerous spots for being eaten by sharks in the world. The reef shelf is just too deep.

'..you go straight to Pic du Diable cliffs..'
(Pic du Diable little cliff, on the right side of the beach, when swimming, is the probably the safiest way to get out)-
