Cloud Nine

Edit Spot

About

Amongst the top reef breaks in the world, behind Teahoppo, Backdoor and Pipeline... but not far behind!

This report is a compliation of 3 different versions sent in by Hiroshi Yokohama, Lido Franco and 'D' who remains anonymous.. Thanks guys.

Atmosphere:
Hollow, Powerful and Superfast - as it sucks back off the coral grab your courage with both hands and give it your best. If you don't hesitate you'll get the wave of your life. This wave breaks boards and bones - you have been warned.

"Believe it! I've tried it!(Dodo Ramos)"

Additional Info:
The wave is a powerful reef break, pitching over shallow live coral. Generaly its a right, although as with many reefs it pitches both ways, with the left being shorter and equally hollow. When Cloud Nine gets crowded head down to Jacking Horses (300m paddle)
