closes out even on the biggest swells. The take
off is a steep outside peak, which slingshots into
a
very long, walled, super fast section over 4 feet.
Rides are 100 to 150 yards. Good on any tide with
any wind from W to N |

Pasta Point |

Thari Vilage |

Perfect long left, which picks up
more swell. "Macaroni Bowl" - a 2nd tube section
which develops after the fast take off section,
mellows out for a cutback. "Lockjaws" - if you
are game, try out this very fast and shallow end
section which comes after the Macaroni Bowl. Rides
are 75 to 100 yards long. Best Winds: N, but can
be surfed with NE-NW. |
