Kalama
Edit SpotAbout
hella fun!
Atmosphere:
I really enjoy this spot, easy access and always some kind of wave breaking.
Additional Info:
Kalama is a shorebreak wave, not the most epic wave u will surf however it improves your ability greatly, pro surfers have come here to improve the speed at which they get up on their board and taking off sideways at a better angle. Taking off quickly and sideways is key at this spot
