general information
Another Tahitain wave that ticks all the boxes, fast, hollow and very powerful. Beautifully photogenic like all it's cousins on the island, this wave is a round barrel breaking over shallow reef for experienced surfers only. It's along paddle or you can organise a boat out here. It's situated close to the captital of Papeete making it maybe slightly more popular than some of the other waves.
