 Surf Spot Characteristics

 Additional Information

Waimea can actually be split into three waves, 'Waimea' itself - a mountain of water, Pinballs (along the rocks on small days), and the Waimea Shorebreak, which is just about unsurfable (unless you have a bodyboard and a death-wish).

This is the original big-wave spot: it requires big boards, big balls and big arms. Just paddling out would be too much for most people on big days. Once out watch the rips, they are evil and can get you into big big trouble very quick.

Atmosphere

Legendary wave - you've seen those photos of 6+ guys on *huge* guns, looking insignificant against a solid 30+ft wall of water?? Well this is it!

General

Gets crowded when small (15ft !!), not unusual to see 5+ guys on one wave - maybe they're just good friends, who knows? Bigger days, it gets less crowded - but thats hardly news!.
