Maria Reef left Surf Photo: 'Remote Maria reef' by Rob Davies

The end of a very long left fades to shallow coral about 300m from where we anchored. A great wave and I suspect if could hold much more size than this. Spooky very remote spot with whales, dolphins and splashes that could have been sharks.
