Cloudbreak
Edit SpotAbout
Cloudbreak is the gnarliest wave iv'e ever seen,it has a good setup on the island of tavarua. Just a short boat trip away from the resort on the island, it is relatively convinient to arrange accomidations to get there.
Atmosphere:
Cloudbreak is very unique in that it has the power and hollowness of Teahupoo, and it is very long. It's consistent and holds big swells. With several takeoff spots and heaving sections,it is the ultimate proving ground for surfing- especially on big days.
