yesterday, heidi and i went searching for a new wavespot on the island. there were some rumors and we had checked countless 3d views on google earth for spots to match with the wind and wave directions.
we took our rental car (a nissan micra a.k.a. 'stretch limo'). one possible way led directly from a small village (well, just some houses), called st. john, so we took the turnoff just behind those houses. well, the 'road' would have been suitable for a mountainbike downhill race and even with a jeep it would have been a torture. we kept going some miles until we decided that it was too dangerous and even the way back was an adventure :)
we were looking for the other way afterwards and found a freshly paved asphalt road leading to the spot from a different direction. the asphalt being so smooth, you could even go there with a skateboard... :D
if you could see heidi's eyes, they would tell you 'boah, ganz schön heftig!'
the spot itself looks really nice but it did not convince us 100%... the wind has to be really strong to sail there and there is no reef, so there's a big shorebreak and lots of rocks and rock plates. would be sick for shooting some stuff there though.
as it is so easy to reach (just like 15 minutes from our homebase), i guess we'll go & have a look from time to time to catch the spot when its working.
