Salani Right Surf Guide

One of Samoa's most famous waves, and most surfed. A high-quality, relatively user-friendly barrel with a couple of different takeoff sections, all visible from Salani Surf Resort. High-performance and quite round when it wants to be, the wave isn't very long, but fairly mechanical in its perfection. The "go-to" wave at Salani Surf Resort.
