Cap frehel
Edit SpotAbout
Don't go on the main peak if you're a beginer.
Don't drop anyone. Don't paddle for all the waves as if you're angry. This spot isn't for beginers when the size is there ! Don't especially drop anyone named Yann !
Atmosphere:
The peak is wide like a ping pong table with 50 hungry surfers who sometimes have been waiting for months for those waves... This spot is also called "cap carnival" because of the crowd !
Additional Info:
Can have its good moments... Like everywhere...
When it's small, it doesn't worth the trip if you live at more than half an hour from the spot !
