Left foot forward wave kicker locations
Looking for destinations similar to Cape Town. I want wave kickers to be hit riding with the left foot forward and with strong wind. Any other locations in the world that get consistent conditions like Cape Town?

Re: Left foot forward wave kicker locations
Awesome wave kickers (roughly 1m tall) for left foot forward (regular footed) jumpers. Tip: The wave kickers can get bigger depending on the ocean tide and the river flow also plays a factor.

Left kickers
Rolling fat waves
Close out waves
Blue water

I think Chile and Peru should be good for you.
Or Barbados in the south at Silver Sands.

Re: Left foot forward wave kicker locations
I think you're better off asking for right foot forward locations. They are much rarer.
Edit. That wasn't very helpful. Most of the sports on the European west coast would do you.
For consistent winds and left foot forward Tenerife and Gran Canarian (Vargas) will do very nicely.

Cape Hatteras NE shore on a strong NEaster, great fun like Cape Town, but with immediately wind-driven waves and hence far more broken up.

Re: Left foot forward wave kicker locations
Here in Denmark also, along the full westcoast, wind from the left and big rolling waves and swell in SW and west and NW, the dominant winds all year, but a low pressure area so you never know when, but often wind
Cold Hawaii one of the spots.
