all i can tell you is that it is near papatowai, if you drive along the coast you will reach a hilly section, if it is a clear day you may be able to see waves breaking at about 250m from shore. this is it.

Additional Information
don't even try it unless youre a pro or close to it, some people don't even make the trecherous paddle out. when youre out there i can only give you one bit of advice, sit way out the back because every now and then a bomb set comes through and you can die.
Atmosphere
it can be pretty crazy if its above 50 foot which it quite often does but there are no real locals because the so called good spot around here is papatowai, but s7 is usually at least 10 feet more than papatowai.
General
crazy,amazing,psycho,dangerous,thrilling,mind- blowing,too big to surf without a jetski or a gun.

pffffffffffff - i havent seen this break but ive heard of it elsewhere and all i have to say is maybe theres no photos cos the guys who surf it dont want to give it away. the critics may say u cant prove its there but u cant disprove it either.
