malcolm libro from Australia

“This wave is world class on its day and best at around 6ft.
Me and my mates had it all to ourselves one January at 6-8ft and we lost count of how many barrels we had on the inside section. You may have to wait out the flat spells but when its on you will never forget it.
I've been travelling the world surfing for the last 20 years and this wave rates as one of my best. I have many perfect photos.
If you want consistancy go to indo,if you have a little more time and patience you will be rewarded here.”
