general information
One of the greatest waves in the world. The classic right hand Indo dream. After a cautious paddle from Sorake Beach into the deep water channel its a fairly easy shift into the lineup. Catch a few on the inside to warm up at Kiddieland.

Anything over 6 feet is for the seriously experienced surfer; anything over 12 feet is for watching only unless you are an experienced tube merchant. If its a little small, try Indicators on the outside. If it's a little beyond your abilities, investigate The Machine a little further inside the bay.
