This half day tour takes you up close to some of the Caribbean Sea’s most dramatic wildlife
Silver Back
| Location: | Isla Bastimentos |
This is a super powerful wave with huge barrels. You can actually go left or right, but the channel is to the right. The lefts are tempting, but you better have a good exit strategy. Similar to taking backdoor at pipeline, you will simply pay for it. Silver Back is on the edge of the island's shelf and is open to most swell directions. It needs a solid swell to work and holds big, beautiful barrels to 20 feet. There can be serious consequences for getting trapped inside. Experts only.
