Edit SpotAbout
It's certainly the longest wave I've ever ridden. I'll be back.
Atmosphere:
I pulled a leash plug out here and lots of boards have been snapped. Have a look at Young Guns 2 DVD if you want to see this place at mid size. It's fickle wind wise but one good wave here will have you claiming this spot as your favourite!
Additional Info:
This is one of the longest and fastest waves in the world on its day. It breaks as long as J-Bay when it's peeling and there's multiple barrel sections. The paddle back out is lengthy! Shallow, Hollow, super fast...WICKED!
