Majanicho
A fishing bay on the North Shore with soft rights, ideal for progressing.
Majanicho is a small cluster of fishermen's houses with a bay where several waves break. The inside one is a soft 20–40 m right that works best with no wind and a rising tide, holding up to 1.5 m.
The currents are gentle, so it's a good place to move from whitewater to reef waves.
