Baltic Surf, Pavilosta photo: Baltic Kooks (facebook)
Kaspars Cekotins: “The main spots are Liepaja (Ziemelu Mols), a small village named Pavilosta just half an hour away, and a few around there that I would like to keep to myself. In terms of waves, the best spot is Menlrage, just across the border with Lithuania.The rules are simple: you need a cross-onshore wind to blow hard enough and long enough to build up a proper wave and then, depending on the direction of the wind, you just look which spot would work better – keeping in mind that at all spots feature a pier-like dam that protects the entry to the harbour for the incoming ships. In our case, it also shelters the incoming waves from the wind and cleans them up a bit so that you can understand where it actually is….” (Ed. remember, the best surfing waves for surfskis are not generally the best waves for board surfers)
Don't pass up other types of paddlers and water folk who might be able to suggest good places to paddle…
