general information

Benchongs is an exhilirating right barrel on the south end of Devil's Island. It is somewhat of a secret spot because it is difficult to find unless you know what you are looking for. Many random waves, mostly unrideable, break in the near vicinity making its location somewhat of a mystery. Benchongs is practically identical to Bankvaults in the north and offers a dry, frothing barrel over an extremely shallow reef. At low tide the inside section is absolutely unmakeable so be careful.
