Secrets
Edit SpotAbout
Only go here if you have a set of massive balls because after surfing here for 2 hours we saw a HUGE shark attack and thrash something to the left of us, about 50 feet away. Might have been a seal or turtle, I dont know..... we got the hell out of there, I aint going back ever haha. Have fun!
Additional Info:
This is a privately owned area, Ive only been here once with a few friends who knew the break, Ive never talked to the owner, so I dont know how cool he is with trespassers. Its a good walk down to the cliff, and its kind of hard climbing down, and the paddle out to the break is dangerous too.
The actual break is pretty awesome though! Breaks right over a reef very fast and gives massive barrells too. When we went it was about 8-10 foot face, very fun. One of my best surf sessions ever. I dont mind giving the spot away because Im never going back after what I saw there in the water. >.>

Drive from Hilo towards Honomu. Pass Honomu on the right youll see a bunch of trees and a private road with a gate, park by the road, and trespass through the rich guys yards, past the house. Climb down the rocks by the cliff, break is just to the right. Need to paddle about 100 feet to it.
