Grajagan
Edit SpotAbout
It is the best commercialized left in the world...........
Atmosphere:
An unbelieveable adventure. The surf zone is so large that the crowd is minimal if not inexistent. The camps are adequate and the hospitality that is provided by the camps is great. Get ready to meet to some strange characters while you are there.
Additional Info:
Bring booties and 3 boards. Bring an open mind.G-land has several differnet sections along the 2km long point that vary from big workable walls with whackable faces (eg Kongs), to jacking fast hollow walls (eg Moneytrees on higher tides), to almond-shaped dredging barrels on critically shallow and dangerous reef (eg Speedies and Lanching Pads on any tide). What you surf and at what tide is up to you, but it always has POWER, with world-class barrels on lower tides and bigger days. Booties here are a must for wipeouts (you often need to put your feet down on sharp reef) and walking out and in over sharp reefs to the break.
