Luz rocks - Its all true, Luz is fickle and flat in the summer (apart from the odd levant swell - which is good for skimming) but the winter SW swells rock this beach and reefs - FYI the only guy who gets shacked at the right reef is Xana, 6 sec barrels, in your dreams! this is not Indo. James is a good lad, keep it up.
