Additional Surfing Infos
 Towing or windsurfing wave only. It's a bad idea to fall of it can be catastrophic,
because on most days the swell holds up to 27 foot plus and on good days it can be 50 foot plus
there is serious danger. Try not to fall off.
  Overview
  Atmosphere The atmosphere is great, the sense of power you get when you here the wave crashing down. It roars.
  General It has some of the greatest windsufing and surfing possible. The kick you get from moving at 30 mph down the face of the wave.

Seriously, this place should be named "Gums", not "Jaws" because it looks pretty toothless to me. I could probably paddle into some sets on my 5'6" Fish here, no jetski needed.

If you want some SERIOUS surf, come to Cali and tow into some monsters at Outside Tourmaline. Make "Gums" look a typical summer day at Waikiki.
