Atmosphere
Definetly worth the paddle. Barely any swell was reported while I was there, yet this spot was constantly 4-5ft with perfect left barrels. Lot of sharp coral, may want to wear booties.
General
Very fun. Very exotic

?!?! - 35 people?! cummon man, in Tortola a really crowded day is about 10 maybe 15 people, let alone ONE party of 35 people, by all means Tortola is a fantastic place but not when the surf is swamped, just think about it, Torola is a very small place...
