Japans (among MANY other names)
Japans, Bays, Hamburgers... it's got tons of names. Japans is the most used although some people still refuse to call it by Japans. SUPER fun wave, a straighfooters dream. The paddle out is extremely easy and you can easily get barreled 9/10 waves on a good day here. When it's breaking the best you can take off, get tubed come out do a cutty then anything else you want off of the rampy section. Even when it's tiny the wave is so curvy that you won't ever hop here. Sketchy when crowded though, and that happens with around 5 people, so please be courteous of the locals when you see them out!

JAPANS
ya i ve also been told to call it japans but i surfed it in Mid-summer and it was still kickin up some really fun rights,and i would have to agree on the 5 stars cuz that place GOES OFF along with Garbonzos if u get it right.

japans?
I've surfed this break a few times and I always knew it as Japans, I guess rights is a fitting name because it is a right point break but i was wondering if anyone else has heard this break called Japans? Its a fun break when its on and there's a decent swell. Not 5 star but id give it a 3.5, its a 5 star break for the East Coast but i wouldnt compare it to supertubes or anything like that. I got a few fun little barrels, it kind of reminds me of the inlet, a small fun wedgey wave.
