À propos de cet audio
The account details a surf expedition along the largely unexplored south coast of Haiti, an area receiving consistent swell but lacking any established surf culture or information.
The surfEXPLORE Group navigated to remote locations like Grosse Caye and Ile á Vache, where they discovered excellent surfing conditions on a left point break but encountered logistical hurdles, notably an engine seizure on their boat due to the operator's negligence and a challenging rescue effort.
Alongside the pursuit of waves, the narrative highlights the pervasive presence of local folklore and belief in zombies, dramatically illustrated by a harrowing roadside encounter, underscoring the deep-seated presence of Voodoo and its associated cultural fears in these isolated regions.
Ultimately, the journey confirmed the existence of superb, uncrowded surfing spots while navigating the country's unique and sometimes intimidating local environment.
