Edit SpotAbout
I love the spot. Its got a killer wave.
Atmosphere:
All types of different waves. There are barrels, lefts, rights, and crumbling giants. Any fun wave you could imagine.
Additional Info:
When its big bring an extra board. It gets real heavy. Dont mess with the locals. Hit as many tourist as possible.
