Be very quick to your feet, set rail and pull in. Race through to the end section and out into deep water.
Overview
Atmosphere
Mellow and friendly people, Fast Tube at all sizes, but very Intense above 6 feet. Hits very shallow reef quickly out of deep water. Bring along fin repair kit. Bring your helmet.
Had a (apparently) rare session at Hideaway with perfect conditions and fun waves with max 3 guys in the water. Don't count on the same if you go there, but if you hang around long enough you could get it the same. Other days were how More...
Great fun wave in the right conditions
Just returned from Hideaway resort and got fun (up to 1.5 head height) waves in PERFECT glass conditions, thought I was sitting in a surf magazine spread. Blew it's head off for the rest of the time. One attempted surf was aborted on a glassy day but with HIDEOUS wave set up - like a right-hand "cho-poo" with no escape route. Not sure what the problem was, good size swell but a nasty sucking takeoff (and this was at high tide) and not much chance of making it to the channel. Had a lot of trouble getting in over the reef to the lagoon that day with no waves to show for it. Next day was out of a Rip Curl add.

Hideaway local??
If your a true "Hideaway Local" you should be spending your time cleaning my romm, and not calling paying guests off waves.I spent 2 weeks in the Hideaway in 2004, did get a little busy on the weekends when it was working, but not so bad that you couldn't get waves. The only trouble i had was with a "local" who felt i shouldn't be riding "his" wave. I find that hard to believe, considering the kook was American!! Say no more.The hotel is nice, ideal way to get a surf trip and keep the misses happy.
