radicals - Used to be owned by a rad dude named Nathan Wilbur, Radicals doesn't even exist anymore, hurricanes Iwa and Iniki did something to it so that it doubles up and closes out all weird. I surf that area a lot and I've gotten one good wave at radicals in the last ten years. It used to get super good but never over head high. Anywayz, radicals is gone R.I.P.

blown out - usually ugly anyway with the sideshores. its rare a big south with a good angle with the right tide and winds hit this area anyway.
