general information

One of the best waves on the island. This right hander peels off a long ride over a large boulder reef with performance walling and barrel sections. Like most spots on the island it is pretty wind sensitive and best caught with very little breeze, worth getting up for an early session! Check it at low tide for optimum stoke potential. There is also a more daring left here for the brave, it's very hollow and breaks particularly close to the rocks, a good body board wave potentially.
