general information
The death pit of all death pits known! Long wait between waves long period, hot offshore winds in all directions steaming hot barrels in all directions as you concentrically radiate outwards. If you survive the drop 90 metres + and the long wall you can either pull into secondary barrelover the remains of the Mentawai reefs or pull off into the deep water of the India Ocean trenches.

Slightly smaller breaks will be found around the Indian Ocean rim and for the others the pacific and Atlantic rims. Enjoy tentative name Apocalpyse 1 2 or 3
