Mahambo
Edit SpotAbout
Fantastic place to surf and to rest.
Atmosphere:
Kind of secret spot, for nature worshipers only!
The locals try to keep it that way, let's respect that.
Additional Info:
Peacefull. Can be dangerous, the hollow section breaks close to rocks, the flatter section is okay. 15min paddle to catch the wave. No surf shops, no renting areas, only a "family lik" surf school that opens only certain times of the year. Very remote area, don't get hurt the closest hospital is a 2h drive from here.
