- Gets epic on occasion. Kona winds, big swell.

big waves, big sharks - Went out and saw the biggest shark in my life....swim right under me! Never got any trouble but the waves were good. Think about it hard.

Da Pipe - Probably the only spot on the north shore you can score by yourself when it's crowded everywhere else. Super scary paddle out. Shark bait. No parking.
