ross milner from Falkland Islands

“Best waves are usually at the North end of the beach and round the point to the next pretty little cove.
Waves are best at high tide, offshore, can be very hollow and fast under the right conditions but are frequently only short rides before closing out. The water and beach are pristine with no pollution and no crowds. In fact in past 3 years I've only had the company of other surfers on about 12 occasions, but dolphins often come and join in the fun.”
