About

Big, powerful, heavy, heavy wave. You can't even see the big ones coming until it's too late, then you have about 6 seconds to paddle towards the channel, or just pray for the best. When a big one came through, my friend was drug over 100 meters and held down 40 seconds, another guy's board was broken into 3 pieces. Short, fast, but exhilarating ride.

Atmosphere:
VOLUME, the wave is extremely heavy, breaks in deep water over a cavernous reef, the peak keeps changing position, the currents are strong and pull you all over the place. Hard to judge, jacks up very quickly, long hold downs. If you are going to surf here, have your life insurance policy paid up.

Additional Info:
Best to get here by boat, a jet ski with sled would be great to have handy to save you from drowning. Definitely bring a gun, at least a 7 footer. Bring an extra leash and board because you might break both.
+
It only breaks when Dumpers passes 8ft.
