conditions & access

Season

Smaller high-tide windows during the completed trip

Water

Small high-tide reef wave with reforms into deeper water

Experience

Advanced remote-reef prone foiler

Hazards

Very abrasive shallow reef, tight takeoff, inside doubling over reef and only a high-tide/smaller-wave foil window. Older gear was intentionally used because of reef damage.

Parking & access

Access is boat/resort based; arrange current permission and pickup with the Kandui-area host.

“Progression Project forum completed-trip report documents several smaller high-tide prone sessions at 4 Bobs, in front of the Kandui floating dock, using shoulder chip-ins or inside reforms into deeper water.”
