Hiriketiya left point break overcrowding and local drop ins

Hiriketiya is a tiny horseshoe bay, and the left point is highly localized. You cannot just paddle to the peak and expect a wave. You need to sit slightly inside, be patient, and wait for the wide sets. Talk to the locals in the lineup, learn their names, and show respect. If you paddle aggressively, you will be burned on every single wave.
