- Rocks
This spot is near agios giannis but its a good 20 minute paddle around one point to get to this point. Park at kaminia beach. Definately a suicide wave - 3 sections. Sometimes all 3 link up but usually each section spits you out straight into a rock (3 rocks). First section breaks in towards a cave. A lot of rocks. My surfboard is now missing 3 inches off the front of it - but it's worth the risk if you have the arhidia malakes.

Lefkas - New Spot - This is one of many spots I found when checking out the Ionian Islands. I've surfed it a couple of times but unfortunately always by myself. Other spots include Agios Giannis - North end, Agios nikitas & Tsoukalades beach. They are all fickle (as is the whole of the med) but the sense of adventure & the fact that you are surfing some place that no one else ever has is a great feeling. Hawaii it's not, but its definitely a fun spot.
