+      * From Kassie James [[https://surfski.info/component/k2/story/1501/an-exciting-recipe-for-tuna-kassie-paddles-a-bluefin.html|surfski.info article]]: "The only way to get outside the reef (aka Out.The. Back.) is through a handful of passes, which (for the non greased toothpick paddlers amongst us) are breaks in the reef. The passes run on the diagonal so are hard to spot. Basically a pass is really-churned-up-water-bookended-by-massive-waves. From Out. The. Back there are Very. Few. Ways. Back… essentially you can go through a pass (voluntary) or over the reef (involuntary). As a tip, one of these routes has a chance of ending better than the other."

+**Mauritius Classic**
+  * [[https://www.facebook.com/Mauritiusoceanclassic/|Mauritius Ocean Classic ]]Surfski Week - due to Covid-19 the Classic was canceled in 2020 and 2021. We hope that it will return - it is a bit like Gorge Week in the Columbia River or WA Race Week in Perth where one can come for a whole week of great conditions and downwinding.
