general information

Welcome to a cheese grater of a reef living coral pull out zone ankle deep. Prepare to have the tropic lime juice dressing on your reef rash! Breakas rightly says that if you get a wave here while you are staying it's a bonus. 10 day stay 10 bonuses for me ( a little rare. ) Piccanini reef across the bay treat them with kindness.

Beware Breakas can bite
Friends surfed it every day for ten days at Breakas and SW a little past Piccaninis and one got tombstoned when it jumped suddenly to over ten foot the dreaded leggie hooked under coral ledge. Need the other surfer to rescue them and unleash leggie, survival all round and good reef rash scars. But was close to tragedy. Breakas and Pango are in Port Villa area and have some access to hospital and medical repatriation . Outer islands you need a buddy and full survival skills for anything other than fun level breaks.
