SURPRISE SESSION
But on my first day on the Island of San Cristobal, conditions proved me wrong, because there were awesome waves with a north swell at Ponta Carola. The break was just at the corner from harbour where we were anchored. The surf was really good and lined up over the volcanic rock bottom, with perfect right-hand waves – super easy and fun for standup surf, as the wave would end in a lagoon making it very safe. The locals seem to have only started surfing a few years ago, so there are not many out on the water and they still have that nice feeling of sharing and enjoying the ocean together. After being on the island for a few days we checked out a good variety of spots to surf, especially on the south west point of Cristobal. The point was like a peninsula more or less, picking-up swells from north, west and south within just five minutes drive – perfect!
