Now you needed patience and some board volume and a bit of luck for the wave to connect you with the inside reform underneath the cliff. With good timing and sufficient technique two to three more turns were possible here, as long as you stayed close enough to the pocket.

On top of the cliff sit some exclusive villas and I was wondering, if their privileged owners had a clue about what a precious first row seat they are having. The break right in front of their luxury terrasses was one of the best I have seen in the whole northern Mediterranean Sea. Considering how it broke with this very average swell, it probably was by far the best, even compared to the Ligurian breaks (which do get epic).

I had heard rumours about a brilliant wave in the area, breaking with a solid south-swell, but breaking very rarely. I was pretty sure, that I now was watching exactly this break, working on a mediocre swell, and producing some very nice waves. What a nice surprise! But it was clearly only me to be surprised, as the lineup was bustling with about 20 to 30 surfers, who obviously knew better.
