Atmosphere
This is one of the classic sand breaks on the island of Guam. Like a minature Waimea with a cleaner down the line wave. Very fun and clean rides.

very very very fun - I was on the island for just 3 days back in august and got lucky. medium typhoon swell and this place was going OFF. pristine 4-6 ft lefts wrapping into the bay. very rippable and extremely fun wave. apparently it doesn't get good all that often, but all i can say is I got it good. extremely nice people too, probably the most pure surf experience i've ever had. much aloha to the guys at primo surf shop for hooking us up with boards and for being just very friendly people. please respect this place and the people that live there. guam will probably not ever be considered a surf destination anyway, but it would break my heart to see the purity of this place get ruined.
