An entrepenuers wave.
Atmosphere:
Never surfed it...looks insane though. Dangerous, shallow, if you screw up the take-off you are gone.
Additional Info:
Definately a hellmans wave, ive never seen it surfed before and maybe in a few years when im good enough i will...that is if no one else does first. It's an extremely short wave, maybe a 4-5 second barrel. It comes from deep water and on a low tide suddenly the wave sucks up and smashes onto a reef shelf, and then rushes into the cliff no further then 10-20m away. This is seriously "ours" closeness to the cliff. As ive never surfed it and i don't think anyone else has, theres not a lot more to say then get out there and have a look.
