Flight over the dreaded Sentinel shows perfect waves
Where the last tribe that has not had contact with civilization lives
A flight over the Sentinel Islands shows a perfect left break on an impressive reef pass.
The territory that is part of India but has never actually had anyone from India there is, as social media famously says, the last tribe on the planet that has no contact with the outside world.
Anyone who has approached the place has either been killed or repelled by the local tribe, which is extremely hostile.
As The Inertia says when publishing this video, on a trip to film Thicker than Water, a 1999 film, Chris Malloy and Tamayo Perry surfed nearby, at Kumari Point in Little Andaman.
The film was largely shot by Jack Johnson who on that trip wrote the well-known Holes to Heaven, which makes several references to the area:
The footage in question, from the IG account “The World in the Last 24 Hours,” introduced the footage as news: “Strange Video Shows Plane Flying Over Deadly North Sentinel Islands.”
And he begins his text by saying: “North Sentinel Island, located in India’s Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is one of the most mysterious and dangerous places on the planet. The island is home to the Sentinelese tribe, one of the last uncontacted tribes in the world. They have lived in isolation for thousands of years and are known to aggressively resist any form of outside contact. For this reason, the Indian government has declared the island strictly off-limits to protect both the tribe and outsiders.”
But the video says more than any text:
