The wave
A small fishing hamlet on the North Track that lends its name to a cluster of peaky righthanders breaking over shallow, sharp lava reef nearby. Majanicho draws plenty of attention for its wave quality, but the shallow, undulating reef bottom keeps it firmly in experienced-surfer territory.
The setup produces punchy, often hollow peaks that reward a confident, quick-reacting surfer able to handle a critical takeoff over rock. Being spread along the North Track's dirt road, it sits among dozens of similarly shallow, similarly demanding reef options, each with its own subtle character.
Come only if you're comfortable surfing over shallow, sharp lava reef, and bring solid reef boots.
