 Additional Information

A bombie situated a couple kms offshore, is easily the most consistent tow wave in all of New Zealand and is frequented by the Doug Young crew.Very heavy capable of throwing out 6-8ft indo style tubes to 15ft aussie death slabs. Has multiple heavy barrel sections and is quite a long wave for an offshore reef. Very difficult wave to paddle however it can be done also the points on the inside are epic paddle waves. This break is the norths best kept secret and the localism is pretty intense, good luck trying to find it and fight off the locals. Easily top 5 waves in New Zealand.

General

Probably New Zealands most perfect exclusive big wave, tends to peak at around the 15ft mark as any bigger and it becomes very difficult to access, has been surfed at 25ft+ in the past however.
