- Urchins
- Rocks
One of the best right handers on the island. Hidden in plain view. Pushes a lot of water. Heavy shore break. There's 3 peaks on a good swell. If you line up right, you can get very long rights. Don't kick out in front of the freeway, you'll get stuck in the rips and pounded by the shore break. FILLED with urchins, wear reef booties or learn the hard way.
Atmosphere
Most likely, you'll be surfing alone
General
Be respectful if you do see locals, don't drop in and don't leave your trash on the beach

Local Surfer - Oh man, the betrayal. Have surfed this point every winter for so many years, usually alone, and now some malakas posts it on the internet. Why would you do such a thing, expose spots and make them overcrowded? Shame on whoever did this.
