Secrets 7
Edit SpotAbout
crazy,amazing,psycho,dangerous,thrilling,mind- blowing,too big to surf without a jetski or a gun.
Atmosphere:
it can be pretty crazy if its above 50 foot which it quite often does but there are no real locals because the so called good spot around here is papatowai, but s7 is usually at least 10 feet more than papatowai.
Additional Info:
don't even try it unless youre a pro or close to it, some people don't even make the trecherous paddle out. when youre out there i can only give you one bit of advice, sit way out the back because every now and then a bomb set comes through and you can die.
Location

all i can tell you is that it is near papatowai, if you drive along the coast you will reach a hilly section, if it is a clear day you may be able to see waves breaking at about 250m from shore. this is it.
