Mauritania. Right point with shipwrecks in No Man's Land. The Nouadhibou Peninsula in North Africa does not officially belong to any country. Formerly part of the Spanish Sahara until 1975, since claimed by Morocco and currently occupied by Mauritania, it has several high-quality right points surrounded by land mines. If the Commandante of the Mauritanian Army detachment likes you, you can surf. There has not been any active fighting since the early 1990's and the soldiers are very bored. If he doesn't like you, no surfing. The Commandante can provide a guide to ride shotgun through the minefields to reach Metorites, this long right point with two shipwrecks. If he likes you.
