Additional Infos |
| |
| | Small launch patch of sand, debris everywere and waist high grasses makes lauching a hazzard. It's tricky to see your lines when self launching. Always ride with someone or ask a local. At low tide the walk to the water is very slippery around the water grass, round 50mts from the beach. The wind hollows over the beach and beware that there's alt least 5-8knts more as soon as you leave the shore. Then theres another 3-5knts to wellcome you!
Take your pic on where you wanna ride, heaps of space. Intense place to ride, be alert, very shallow and on the right days you will be able to ride 'Devil's nail' a playfull friend!
Elegant lady, flat sections just magic.
Beware of the clifs and their effect, ask the locals if you are a first timer.
We called 'Devil's Beach' for a reason. Respect it!
