Additional Information
This a very fast wave. A Classic and you have to be fast and in good shape otherwaise get the hell out of the water and watch!.
Atmosphere
It may be quite crowded on high season Dec-to March. But if you surf well and fast you will be outrunning a lot of wannabes and just get your own.
Anyway, keep it cool and nobody will bother.
Respect to be respected.
