    Amazing video Amazing trip and Amazing waves. I would like to know your opinion: when you focus on the line-up at 5:57 11:15 or 12:30 the Place does not seem too crowded giving the condition (especially if you compare to places like uluwatu or ericeira). Would It be manageable for an intermediate surfer? Thank you so much!
