Be Careful about the reef. There is a perfect long right and on the other hand a good, short and hollow left. There 's a lot of power here and it's not sand as Mundaka ...
It's need a big swell: for example waves are smaller than at Mundaka for the same swell.
Atmosphere
A big hard spot with surprisingly good waves.

Some day? - Don´t take care, I won´t worry about you. Summer is close and it´ll be better for me to worry about the ocassional pseudo surfers and their drop ins and erratic wave riding. How it can be "aloha" and fun if, as you say, one has to keep always his eyes open to prevent it all? I see it like this, Mr. Global, surfing rules are few but clear, and maybe the true aloha spirit resides in respecting them.Comparing our surging skills? Maybe I´ll be wrong, but after reading your messeges here and about Mundaka, I thought you were comparing Europe vs. America, or, in other words, the lame and low leveled vs. the true soul surfing ...Well, that´s all, this argument is over for me. We´ll be friends when you come back here, and you´ll see that local kooks are not so bad.Peace out,
