Edit SpotAbout
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The wave is short, dangerous, no power, fickle, but is in a beautiful nook and is fun to the few.
Atmosphere:
Short, one section, left which is good for the quick catch the wave-noseride-cutback combo. The right is just a standup, and look down t the rocks underwater cruise. No room for anything. The wave then fizzes out and youre done. DONT FALL or JUMP OFF. URCHINS EVERYWHERE.
Additional Info:
Water is about two feet deep with jagged rocks covered in purple urchins clearly visible underthe water. For the most part, only a couple of gnar groms occasionaly on their noseriders in the water.
