Surfing Assinie
dont listen and beleive everything people say, but this comes from a real local who just left the country. Dont be scared to go to the ivory coast and explore the country, its people and its waves, not only it's one of the most beautiful place i ve been (assinie), december is one of the best time to go since it's party time, everyone who left the country to study or else comes back , the water is super clean, see thru, and the waves are glassy every morning and sunset, it s also the besttime to learn because the waves are not as big as the heavy rain season.
people are friendly,just go with someone you know, or just go and you ll meet the right people . Only disadvantage cops always stop you for any reasons and ask for money... yes corruption is there. if you have any questions or need contact there, email me and i 'll take care of the rest...
Much Love and blessings
