general information
This is seriously a hellman tuberiders wave only. It breaks so close to the dry slab you could throw a stone into the barrel as one winds past down the reef. It's a heart stopping drop straight into a caverous barrel with the unforgiving ledge just inches away and it has no mercy for the weak. This wave has a hunger for boards and bones. It works best on big swells of 3m+ and a southwesterly wind is offshore.
