Overview

<![CDATA[Scudo is a wave spot on the western side of the Gulf of Ajaccio. Perilous launch — only feasible early/late season as the beach is very crowded in summer with limited space. By West wind: massive 3-4m waves in front of Scudo — expert only. By SW thermal: light navigation in 14-16m² kites. Erratic wind but fallback beach below. Labelled FFVL.]]>
