REally draining and sucky takeoff just like surge at the island. Really heavy like could easily be size 4 size compared to pipe but pipe can hold alot bigger.
Atmosphere
The wave comes out of really super deep water looking always around 3 ft when its 6. It jacks up like old man on viagra and drains off this 200 cm deep cungi, barnicle and see urchin infested deadly hard shelf and wipeouts can make for some nice ding to the old cranium.
General
i love this spot and i have it just about wired when its 3-5ft. It is really crazy rock jump so ask a local before you do it because the is alot of do's and dont's.
