Atmosphere

Good on a stand-up as you need to paddle a lot. Its a very long wave and a shifting take off. Really fun once you get going but need a big board to keep going through sections.

General

It can be a lot of fun when it lines up but is very finicky and it is an open water break so you need a lot of paddling power and it is open to wind.
