Drive on the road next to the lifesavers club and go right at the end and you will come onto a beach. You will need a boat to get out to lancelin island. After getting all setup on the island you are ready to go and surf. You will have to stop the boat about 50m away from the surf and paddle the rest. But becareful because there are sharks always lurking around.
lancilin Island has a small right on small swells and a left that breaks accross the back of the island on bigger swells this wave can handle large swells (upto 12'and bigger according to locals) this wave is no good for lidders (too fast). Edward Is is the Island in the south of the bay and it has a right (eddies) just to the north of it. hole in the wall is smack in the middle of the bay to the south of the reef and is a right (best wave in lano) south passage is to the north of the same reef and is a left. back beach (south of eddies) is a beach break. The only waves suitable for lidders is Back beach and eddies all the others you will get caught behind in the soup.
My number one tip is when you finish the wave or have bailed out swim back to your boat as fast as you can and dont worry about your board because there are to many sharks. so get your board once your back on the boat.
Overview
Atmosphere
Waiting for the next set can be scary becasue of the shark infested water, but once on the wave it is really fun.
General
It is not the greatest spot but u can still get alot of good rides.
Paddle?
Ive been told by a friend how good the surf is of the island, he says its a 10min paddle there. Ive only surfed back beach twice so dont know the best place to jump in and paddle out to the island. Any suggestions?

sharks
watch out for sharks in the channel - i almost got snapped by one that literally got within a metre and another time we saw two straight ahead of us. you'll prolly ding your board on the paddle out too. don't bother
