Mangakuri
Edit SpotAbout
one of the better spots in CHB
Atmosphere:
Mangakuri is reasonably exposed meaning it is open the most swells which hit the east coast and is quite consistent. It has a small a sandy bay with rock outcrops on either side which provides both a beach break and point breaks running down the inside of the rocks The beach break works in most conditions above 1 ft and the points start to work when the swell picks up (2ft plus) and can become epic above 3 ft and holding up to 6-8 ft where it can provide a long, fast, wally ride.
