Additional Information
Hollow right reef/semi point break. Needs a solid west swell before it shows but the name says it all. Wear a Helmet...If you don't want to be life flighted out of there. hahaha
Atmosphere
Surfed there back in the 70's and 80's when the locals were insane, and still are. You might still have to throw down. Most wouldn't dare to surf here unless you know the place intimately. There is a rock that you will probably slam you face on and die if you not a expert barrel rider.

seen it - I've seen this spot break once. It's a big right reef/point between Japs and BA's. It has to be huge and due west and even then doesn't always break.
