Additional Information

Super fast and super hollow on it's day - The sea floor jumps from 4800mtrs to 3 instantly, so its more often than not a ride that ends in a good bounce off the reef.
When the tide, swell direction and wind are all working together is can be awesome, hollow, fast and open. Its main problem is closing out, it can suffer from the wind, having said that the extremeness of the reef make for an interesting session eveytime and it remains an extremely unpredictable spot.
