they found it - i found this wave back in the 80s, use to surf it on my body board, always surfed it alone, and never saw any one else surf it, thought that one day someone would find it, it gets very heavy on a large east swell, loked at the pictures for clam reef,it looks just like mussel reef.....looks like the ledge at tangioi has been discovered....................

Any other standups surf it? - I'm a standup and i love to surf this place. I've had the best wave of my life here. Yes clam reef is mussel reef. But me and my friends (boogers) have never seen anyone else here. It was fun last friday.
