little surf on Nai Yang - Hi I'm french and in vacation in Thailand.I've surfed this wave on the 30th of december 2003.The swell was small but the reef has worked well.I've surfed one foot powerless but very nice and long waves.I think that this spot must work very well when the swell is consistant.But this wave is not easy to catch, you must paddle for 15 minutes to reach the peak.Of course longtail won't take you to this reef because the water is only 3 feet deep and they don't want to crash their boat.... ;o))So I recommend this spot for surfer on trip in Thailand
