Salsa Brava
Edit SpotAbout
Its alright I guess...
Atmosphere:
8 years ago, this was a tropical paradise, now it is a bit wacked. Lots of potential for getting hurt. The area is mind bogglingly beautiful.
Additional Info:
Its not that heavy really. Do not get caught inside, like any other reef. Its a tube ride. Some people say it is heavier than back door pipe but they would be liers. Its not Teahupoo. Not so scary reef.
