general information

Freight train right hander requiring skill and experience. Quality hollow barrels await those who are up to it. Breaks over a sharp reef off the Ma'alaea Breakwater near the Maui Ocean Centre. Plenty of opportunity to get deep tube time, but the questions is.... are fast enough to come out. Doesn't break very often, needing south swell angle, but when it does, it will be crowded.
