The cove - Its called the COVE. Only good in winter, hollow and fast. Ive seen many boards broken.

HMB - The old guy at gravity sports named it half moon bay, but this wave is actually better to bodysurf. Unless you risk breaking off your nose it might be more fun to take out a sponge and get pitted!!! Charge em!!!
