Quarantines
Edit SpotAbout
Hollow, powerful barrel. Hollow, powerful barrel. Fifteen years ago you could have had this wave to yourself. If it is breaking you will struggle to get a wave if you don't know the locals. You'll be forced to sit wide and pick up the leftovers.
Atmosphere:
Psycho, scary locals and treacherous rips. When this place breaks the locals hit it hard; boats come from everywhere. There are very few places that work in the conditions required for this spot.
Additional Info:
Take the drop, pull into the barrel and aim for the light. Don't drop in and don't look sideways at anyone. If you don't have a sound knowledge of tides don't even think about surfing this wave.
This break has a very sharky reputation (not suprisingly)
