jay from Brazil
“Nice wave will stay in shape up to about ten foot, long walling rides with barrel section on the inside. Most suitable for longboards. On it's good days an excellent wave. Lots of kooks in the water on holidays. Respect the older locals on Mals: many of them train together at the local Ju Jittsu schools and you are likely to get your ass kicked if you don't show respect. Generally a good vibe in the water. Probably one of the most beautiful surf spots on one of the most expensive beaches in the area. Very safe to park your car as the whole area has private security.”
