We’re not far from the first of the small islands, and we can see that there’s a magnificent right running 90 degrees along the side of this lump of rock plonked in the middle of nowhere. The incredibly dense, green vegetation hanging from it gives the spot a unique quality. Uncle cuts the motors and drops anchor. As he takes in the idyllic surroundings Alexis roughly slaps on some sun cream, grabs his paddle and board from the carry net, then launches himself off the bow end of the boat. As he paddles out of the channel and onto the break another set of four rolls out across the reef.
Alexis paddles his way out to the peak, then patiently waits his turn, saying hello to some local surfers and a group of Spanish paddlers already there. The waves are even more full of surprises than it first seemed, standing up quickly, sometimes bouncing off sideways, all of which makes placing the entry quite demanding.
