Additional Information

Take your H-Bomb, get there and surf it, it's the journey of a lifetime.

Atmosphere

Big, isolated and perfect!
It's relatively warm in the water due to volcanic activity (avg 18ºC), take a H-Bomb and a hood cos the wind can get cold and nasty at a moments notice.

General

The most beautiful surf spot on this earth.
