Kaolins
Edit SpotAbout
There are more and more people here, and the level is also rising, the atmosphere is becoming more tense than before; therefore its worth having a good level if you want to surf here and get any waves
Atmosphere:
Definately the best spot in the Lorient region, the big session happen in winter when its really cold, but the rush is so intense you don't notice the cold after a few waves.
Additional Info:
It is a spot favoured by bodyboarders as it is very fast, the take off is mostly air-drop, the bottom turn is in or just before the tube ( after you have to hit the gaz to get out with the spray, when its going off!
