surfing in Madagascar
  World class coral reefs with consistent swells. Of course it's uncrowded and you will live at no cost except fot the transport (hard and expensive). Problems of sharks (but as much as the legend says), tradewinds.

The forgotten Island
This place is so un-crowded and so unique...many secret breaks scattered around, South of the island has the most consistent surf.Enjoy!
