Additional Information
Huge top to bottom Barrel. Looks incredible. You can see it on WWW.youtube.com. This is not a spot for beginers. Tow In only. great pictures on www.towsurf.com
Atmosphere
Breaks on underwater mountain range which happens to be a breeding ground for Great White Sharks. Tons of Seals, Sea lions and elephant seals in the area so abundance of food for sharks.
General
I've never surfed it but it looks incredible. I don't think it breaks very often.
