Anakao (Flameballs)

Anakao (Flameballs) is Madagascar's best-kept surf secret—a world-class left reef break on the island's remote southwest coast. The wave produces long, hollow barrels over coral reef, accessed by boat from the tiny fishing village of Anakao. Getting here is an adventure: long flights, rough roads, basic infrastructure. But for those who make the journey, the reward is pristine, empty perfection in one of Earth's most unique settings. Ultimate African surf exploration.
