Abalolo Reef
Edit SpotAbout
perfect right, just a pain in the ass to get to. theres a litle island on the inside with a beach that you can chill at in between sessions.
Atmosphere:
The wave is only a right. if you go left, it will close out fast and you will be stuck over super sharp shallow urchin infested reef. When its working, the right comes up fast and throws a long right barrel, kindof like bowls but a right, and stays hollow longer. super rippable and fun. dont fall though, reef is super shallow and tons of sea urchins and sharks everywhere. no one surfs here cause its super dangerous. probobly the best right on south shore though. faster and more hollow then anyother right in town.
Additional Info:
Super long paddle. take a kayak unless you want your arms to die. pretty sketchy reefy on the way out to the right of the beach park. you then have to cross over a deep shark infested channel.
