Very intricate and big lagoon. A very big variety of setups exist in this lagoon, from choppy dangerous passes, to incredible flat smooth water speed run spots. The lagoon is to big too explain all the risks and specificity, so prudent trial runs will soon unveil all the options. Parallel and close to the reef is a very good smooth water run, with long reform swell lines giving the possibility for mega boosting jumps or just plain high speed flying.
The access from the beach is tricky, as the public areas are very rocky. Best is to take a taxi boat out Isle aux Cerfs for the day. There numerous sandy beaches allow trouble free entry to the lagoon.
Isle aux Cerfs is very greatly exploited from the tourism point of view, so take care and behave properly if you do not want to cause banning for everyone. Always be extra careful in lagoons when approaching channels and passes, the current will surprise you very often and you will get sucked out to sea before you know it. Usually sharks also like to hang around there, as they can just sit and gobble up the morcels that come ripping past. Around the island there are a lot of fish, so every boat has its rod or hand line for fishing which is constantly in use, so do not pass to near boats as you might get caught up like a fish. Behind moving boats there are often trawling lines, these are a great trap.
