Acid Drop
Edit SpotAbout
to be honest: i never surfed the spot myself, just watched friends go out there and catch some. big stuff, need a good drop-in technique. but like my friend fabien says: es una buena ola!
Additional Info:
its quite a paddle out there and currents are strong. need to access from the east side, to the west is another wave that breaks close by and creates quite some current.
