- I always see people surfing with wetsuits in senegal. Any time of year you folks can bareback it? Curious about water temps during sizeable swells. thanks!

Première session au Club Meb - C'était quand déjà ? 1984 ? 1985 ? Le Club Med était a l'époque la vague ou l'on devait faire ses preuves. Tout le monde (ou presque) commencait au Virage dont les bancs de sable étaient beaucoup accueillants que les cailloux des Almadies. Puis, c'était les Secrets. Une fois que le bottom était assuré, l'étape suivante était Vivier Droite. J'avais fait tout cela (du moins, je le disais) et il était temps pour moi d'aller au Club.Je profite donc d'un groupe de surfeurs y vont à partir de la droite des Secrets. Quelques minutes de rame, après de longues observations, et j'y suis. Le spot est beaucoup moins accueillant que les Secrets, pas de sable pour sortir tranquillement. En face de moi, des amis s'installent sur la pelouse du club med. Les séries arrivent et je comprends pourquoi on parle tant du Club Med. Ca arrive vite. Ce n'est pas très gros, mais ça jette terriblement. Je refuse quelques vagues, et je sens les ricanements, là bas, sur la plage. J'en refuse une autre. Puis une autre. Je n'aime pas la façon dont l'eau soulève ma planche. Je n'aime pas voir de si près le fond. Et je n'aime pas imaginer les sourires des autres, là bas.Une autre série. Cette fois ci, je pars. Take off. Pourtant, je voulais aussi la refuser ! Il y a eu un trou, et je me suis réveillé en entendant la lèvre claquer sur l'eau. C'est l'alarme ! Bottooooom ! Ca tourne. Ah oui, le club, c'est une droite, et je suis goofy !. Je me contente d'une section, c'est bien assez. Putain je surfe le club ! C'est trop bon. Je me rends compte trop tard qu'il est temps de sortir. Je tente un timide kick off, mais la lèvre me replaque dans la section. Là bas, sur la plage, ça gueule ! ils pensent que je tente le tube ! La lèvre continue son travail et m'écrase au fond. Il doit y avoir 30 cm d'eau, là. Les vagues suivantes arrivent, et je vais me faire laminer. Une seule solution : je me leve, et je marche (superbement) sur les 5 métres d'oursins qui me séparent de la pelouse du Club Med

Hiring of a surf table in Dakar - Good morning,in January 2007 I will be in Dakar someone can tell me where I can hire a surf table for 10 days?Many thanksafricandofrom Italy

You must ride this wave - I just came back from Dakar after a ten days trip (march 2006). Dakar's spots are very consistent, there are always rideable waves at n'gor right. If you're lucky, with a 2m+ north-west swell, or better, a west to south swell, you could score "Club Med". It's powerfull, fast, and barrelling, and can easily reach 3m. you'll surely enjoy this right all alone : locals usely stop at Vivier.Don't miss it !!!

Sr - Access the break about 100meters due south of the breaks end. A good refreshing paddle , and just watch that one rock and you'll be ok if you don't do any funnystuff like landing headfirst or going too shallow. The water is not that cold here but I agree you have to stay in movement to make it a long session.. ( belgian surf at 4°C for the moment so you can't complain i think) . enjoy !

water temperature - nah its warm, more like 15/16
By alessandro.borgialli@adecco.it , 04-10-2005
what about water temperature? - Hi. I'd like to plan a trip in december. Club Med seems to have very good wave, but I'm scared about the water temperature. Is 11 degree true? Thank for your answer.Alessandro Italy

what must one do? - can you imagine i been trying to secure a job at club med for close to a year now and everywhere i turn it's a dead end. i'm south african living in south africa and there's no clubmed office here so it's quite a mission to chase after the european recruitement offices. if there is a way of doing things easier, please alert me. it's a "schwarka" (extremely cool) website you got goin!

By Angel Canary Islands , 17-11-2003
no title - I rided that wave on april 2003. It's a good wave, a clasic shallow water one.I didn't have any problem whatsoever with the locals, just be respectfull and they will leave youalone. It's fast and powerful.
