Regencia - Linhares - Espirito Santo - Brazil



An amazing left-hander river-mouth point break that works best with South swell and Northeast wind, good in winter time when the sand bottom is in good conditions.
There are some dangers like fisher nets and sharks by the Rio Doce (Sweet river) mouth. It looks to be a laid back mooded fisher village with incredible waves. A nice surf trip for sure.

Pulau Panaitan, Jakarta, Indonesia


This is the place where the movie 'Second Thoughs' was shot. It is an island located near to Jakarta, Indonesia. The movie is great and show awesome perfect waves in a wild place. A must see. The team stays like one month camping in this remote island, very cool.

The both corners of the island bay have theirs reef brakes shown at the movie. But in Google Earth there is not enough picture definition in order to check the spots closely. But the east shore of the island can be well seen, and in the movie I guess they did not went to that side.

Still plenty of secret spots.

The movie soon will be availabe at surfmovies.blogspot.com !!
