About Chameau
Chameau is the wave that dreams (good and bad ones) are made of. This is the ultimate in wave riding for windsurfers and kiters, and should be approached with great care. The wave is hollow and really shallow, and the amount of masts and egos that have been broken there cannot be told. The outer reef wave is far out and you should be a good swimmer if you venture out this far. Shallow reef, don't get thrown onto it. Remember that there are several passes with strong currents, making these areas also very popular for sharks, so do not wallow around too much in the deeper waters or channels. Very shallow reef, don't get onto it.
