To all locals - Hi everybody!I´d like to say to all local people, who are angry about the detection of THEIR SECRET SPOTS that the planet including the water isn´t belongig to a small elitary group of people, and never will be. It´s belonging to all mankind, and ever will be.Hola todos!Queria decir a toda la gente local que están enfadadas sobre el descubrimiento de SUS SECRETOS SITIOS, que el planeta inlcluso el agua no es la sola propiedad de un grupo de gente elista, y nunca será. Es propiedad de toda la gente, y siempre será.

know worries - hi there im a surfer travelling to this region soon - if this place is working reckon i will paddle out for a bit of fun. If your a local you obivously know about the place and if your a traveller youll be there for one day. If its working. chill about your secret spot, i carnt really see it ever getting crowded if its a 40min paddle and only works in the winter!
