Banyons
Edit SpotAbout
Really fun. Nice little pits. Watch out for the rock on last part of the left.
Atmosphere:
Don't drop in on anybody. ALso, if you wipe out on the take off, immediatly paddle to the channel. I learned the hard way and got finned in the calf.
Additional Info:
It's hollow, shallow, and super fun. Lots of fish and REALLY clear. A really fun wave, especially when nothing else is breaking.
