- every local knows this spot is good and people talk and word gets out but you guys have to remember all the spots around the 2444 that can be the best wave in the world any given day.i was born and breed there and surf 3 times a day in that area i grow up with all the guys u look up to and have some of the best pics i have ever seen come out of that area in locations that will never been known to outsiders which will never be posted on the net or featured in a mag so chill out
