Atmosphere
the wave can be as well very challenging as be an "easy" ride depending on tide, swell-size and direction. getting one wave will be your main concern since they are a lot of competitive locals -both surfers and bodyboarders- with very good surf-skills. stay friendly and keep the atmosphere peacefull ;-)
