Nissan Reunion Pro lay day - Into the belly of the beast

posted by Simon Heale on 6th October 2011

Today was our only official "off" day from doing activities yet the international media team, being Tim (Riptide), Matt (Movement), Toze (Vertmag), Rob (ThreeSixtymag) and myself, decided we had to collect a surf, so up early, a little bit of strong coffee to kick us upend a bit of work done and we were off to St Leu.

The swell was tiny but we were all amped and there was none out, which is rare, so we hit it. The clearest, warmest water I have ever seen!! Fun 3 hours and uncrowded 3ft perfection, we beached ourselves, and decided this wasn't enough for the day so we opted to drive to a village that is based in the middle of a dormant volcano inland.

Off we went, on hand down the scariest most ridiculous road I have ever driven. Wildest drop offs, insane drivers and looming cliffs, but it was all worth it. An amazing experience and seeing the people and the area was very eye opening.

Tomorrow it looks like the contest will run and possible be completed too so stay tuned on www.ibaworldtour.com/live for all the quarter finals action!
