Lagide Surf Guide
This long, super-fun left sits in front of the car-park at Lagide and is the first thing you see when you pull up. There's a mellow take off, before it walls up into a reeling top to bottom lefthander that peels and peels over a flat reef. There's a dry hair paddle out around the break. All this adds up to one thing - crowds. The take-off point is tiny and many try to take off deep /on the wrong side of the peak to steal a march on the masses.
