Manapany
Edit SpotAbout
can be scary but has so much to offer
Atmosphere:
This is a beautiful place.
Very powerful and hollow when big. Some really classic sections (sometimes a Pipeline-like take off zone) but with choppy ones due to the rocks below. Quite dangerous. Don't surf alone.
Additional Info:
This left has 2 sections. The first one breaks in front of a swimming pool. It's tubular and fast. It works with a consistent swell and should be reserved to experimented surfers. The second section works with smaller swells (starts at 3ft). It's easier to surf. Be careful at the take-off: you should have an eye on a submerged rock. The final close-out isn't dangerous. Check also the north of the creek by big swell: you may find a good right.
