One of the longest and most consistent left-hand point breaks in the world. The wave peels along a boulder-lined shore for up to 300 metres, offering fast, hollow sections that have drawn surfers since the 1960s. Made famous in the film "Endless Summer". Powerful and crowded on good swells — respect the locals.
