conditions & access

Water

High-energy coral-reef surf with rare softer or deeper foil windows

Experience

Advanced remote-reef foiler with boat/resort support

Hazards

Shallow abrasive reef, tight takeoffs, inside doubling sections, boat dependence and limited suitable foil breaks; expect gear contact risk.

“Community-sourced location mention. Verify the exact launch, access, hazards, and current local rules before publishing or riding. Progression Project forum completed-trip report says most Kandui-area breaks are surf-only because tight takeoffs double into shallow reef, but confirms foil sessions at Good Times and 4 Bobs in smaller/high-tide windows.”
