Edit SpotAbout
Hollow as a friggin log on the right swell but also very very shallow, so just dont fall on the takeoff or you will hit the bottom, that is full of urchins, also elkhorn, fire, and staghorn coral lurk inches below the surface, you can ride it all the way over the reef to the channel then it wiil get deep, carefully pick your way back out or paddle all the way back around.
Additional Info:
walk to the end of the feild by the jetty and carefully pick a spot to enter, lots of urchins and coral, also when you paddle across the channel watch out for boats cause they will run you over, its a very tight channel and big boats do acess it.
