Barre d'étel
Edit SpotAbout
great wave, fast, hollow, also very shallow on sand bottom. The way the wave's peeling looks like it's breaking on reef. Bring a semigun to get enough speed for a good take off and be able to follow the wave...then full speed is requiered to make it..add turbo to your surfing!!
Atmosphere:
dramatic atmosphere at the end of rivermouth, renonned for many ships runned aground during storms. The fishermen living there used to curse surfers cause it's a place of death.
