Les Brisants
Edit SpotAbout
Its a really neat wave, fun to surf and epic when over 2 meters, especially because at this size a 'natural selection' magically takes place!
Atmosphere:
There are too often idiots who think that they own the spot and indeed the whole ocean, apart from this - its cool.
Additional Info:
The take off is relatively easy, except right at the peak when its big. The bowl is made for big airs or digging into the barrel.
