experienced surfers?!?!
I wouldn't say that's an experienced surfers spot. Instead, it's good for beginners because waves aren't hollow, neither fast.

I love this wave...
That's right...Despite it's mellowness,the take off zone can be treacherous when it's firing.I broke a board when air-dropping a nasty set wave a few years back...I remember paddling for ages with the pieces of foam,then grabbing another board and returning for a few more... ;-)
