Yeah which is the best beach with the best waves for surfing in trinidad?

Also needs to know whats the price for a surf board.

And yeah I know this specific water sport is one of the most dangerous sports in the world cause I know people drowned from it padner of mine wave hit he hard in he head then the board hit em in he neck. Was a really big rough wave that day and he drowned.

But regardless this is an interesting sport I willing to take the risk.

PS: What are the odds of encountering a deadly shark while surfing?
They ever had any reports of the Great White Shark in Trinidad shores?

I hear they are found in caribbean waters but more up north.
But from what I gather the Great White dosen't exactly hunt humans infact I see ah man on a documentary petting a great white underwater the MOFO was 15 FOOT Long I believe. Shocked

Could snap a man in half with one bite

However this does not matter if a shark kill me smallthing we have to die sometime anyways so this risk of surfing is well worth it.

No we don't have the great White, but the Bull and Mako have been known to venture to our waters, and they're worse. While the Great While has the ability, it's kinda docile compared to those 2. They bad like crab and will kill you just for killing you sake, without taking one swallow.

Mayaro would be good around this time. August to September you would get the bigger waves, but you would want to head more to the Grand Lagoon side to get the best.

pioneer, tigers are voracious by nature, them fcukers will eat anything...so doh feel special Laughing

but they won't attack randomly with enough force to kill you instantly...still gonna fcuk you up proper though Neutral

But year, if its any sharks to fear in the waters around here, are Tigers and Bull Sharks...I tell you, if i ever see one of those over 6 feet...Jesus wouldn't be the only man to walk on water nah Neutral

a 6" fin might be like a 4-5foot shark, just guessing, could be bigger/smaller depending on the type i guess...

Las Cuevas, opposite end to the car park area, great place to learn surfing.

Back in the day, just before Las Cuevas, there was a dirtroad turnoff, cross a wooden rickty "bridge" then down a steep slope and you would be able to park close to end ther of Las Cuevas.

Razkal salbia or galera is not a surfing spot , were you up there recently

Razkal · Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2008 2:26 pm Post subject:

^yeah i forgot to put up Salibia, Galera is ok, but i find the swell have to be real big for there to be worthwhile yes...and when swell big enough for there, beach break, big bay, roughside and even calmside usually is going off! Very Happy
