Does 1 eye, have a channel to get out???

Or do you have to "Tom hanks" it a la cast away?

Another Sup rider using the paddle backwards. You see so many people doing it. It just doesn't feel right. Nice vid though

Paddle ? what paddle ? All I see is a chick....

That dude was scared to turn hard and hang in the pocket To be fair though, looked heavy

There's a channel... but the current is super strong.
You can also sail around, out past inner reef, around past Chamoix and then down wind to one eye.

It's super shallow, super fast and super sphincter clenching when it's on !
You can sail across the reef on high tide IF you pick your spot. Twin fin would probably get you across the reef at high tide.
Mid to low and you need to use the channel or sail around

That said it's still a bloody awesome spot to sail as is Mauritius to simply hang out
Right up there with Gnaraloo as a must do

Can't wait to get back there

I surfed one eye last year, it's really a super heavy wave when it's crancking and the locals can be ugly. There are plenty of softer options a little upwind from here and there's a club mistral with plenty of good quality gear for hire right on the beach.

Looks awsome, whats the best time of year for wind and waves. 1 eye looks like a place to go.

Awesome wave, looks like its almost too fast to actually do anything tho

just got back from a trip to the big M
- met Rok - the dude in the clip - nice guy!

Depending on the swell direction it can be either sectioney and friendly - great for airs and square reos

or an absolute freight bomb -which means its run and gun
we saw both modes.

Scotty and Ben took it to bits - and made it look like lifter city

i scored a few sessions between shooting sessions but couldnt really get dialled in to the places rythm. You have to hit it between high and mid - low tide a no go - even on twins / quads.

its quite a confronting set up as its miles out with lots of water draining out through the reef passes - meaning a breakdown could be a real drama.

Surfed it and it was quite heavy - like the NW desert when it starts to throw and put its scary face on- crowds were nice and thin

unlike Gnaraloo where you dont tend to hit the reef - this place puts you on it almost every time. It moves relentlessly onto shallower reef.

Its definitely not a place for the feint of heart - The chargers are gonna love it though! Food was awesome , locals were super friendly - although we didnt bother trying to surf Tamarind bay.

Sailed WAAAAY out the back at Manawa - so far out but an easier lip to hit - but surely mega conseqeunces if you ping any gear.

cool - looking fwd to seeing the Serverne crew on it!

Great work! Heavy looking wave the way it keeps peaking up down the line like that!
