goes off - easy take offs then warps around shallow reef and hollows out completely. really fast and makable barrells. befriend the locals and they are friendly as. if you dont they will ripp you off.area reknowned for theft. further around the point is a bigger sketchier left called la punta. i recommend sussing it for a while before you go out. i got seriously worked

el confital - hi. I surfed this spot like 20 times and I must say that it's a great wave. The locals are crazy but good people. the only problem is that there are too many people when it gets good, so that maybe 5 want to get the same wave and you can kiss the reef like I did :P LOLwell ... saludos !!! marcore
