More about BBC surfspot
From Sana a ferry can be caught to Masirah Island. Masirah is Oman's largest island (65km/41mi) where Alexander the Great made his base, referring to it as 'Serepsis'. Nowadays, dates, olives, pomegranates and mangos are grown and the islanders' main occupations are weaving and making fishing nets. Masirah’s hills are mainly barren limestone rock. A quality righthander can allegedly be found close to the BBC telecom towers on a big swell but permission from the Jazirah military is needed to gain access.
