Ekie Island
Edit SpotAbout
Third best spot on the island......most frequent wave
Atmosphere:
locals are friendly here; its a good spot to make friends and a very fun wave. Winter swells are sweet and there is good scenery. The paddle is long, but not too long. The spot is no secret so expect a nice crowd on a good weekend day there. It is a well known spot to anyone on okinawa who surfs, so ask an American how to find the spot.
Additional Info:
prepare to be cut off... locals here love party waves; be aggressive but not rude....these locals are friendly
