Awesome place - Been there for a few months and took my first surfing steps there ;)The place is awesome and the locals are great when you get to know them a bit better. Watch the tide though, water gets to about 30cm deep with reef all over the place..Tip: try the off season, the locals find the water too cold then :P

wtf - Ahem, how is it crowded if it's unknown or vice versa.....?! And looks shitty but i don't care, the key to nice surf is to get an uncrowded break
