Le Jetty, St Pierre
Edit SpotAbout
Awesome. If you fall off, take the white water in towards the rocks and let the rip take you. Duck diving will ruin your board on the reef and you will eat the reef and get urchins stuck in you.
This wave is fast and furious when bigger.
Atmosphere:
Not bad. Usually surfed by accomplished surfers. Stay firendly and people will be friendly back
Additional Info:
Mainly surf it right. If you are really kamikaze go left and let the rip bring you round the very from and back out the back.
