BENG BENGS
A very consistent world class wave

probably the easiest wave to surf in our region. It’s the deepest and
safest wave in the area and it also pick up a bit more swell than the
other local waves. Nestled inside a small bay with one of the most
scenic imaginable views around you.
Ability Level:Beginner-Intermediate. Best Size:3-6 Ft. Consistency:3/10.
E-BAY
This is a hollow left that barrels off the take off with a short wall down the line. A great option when a lot of swell is hitting. A hollow, fast and powerful left. A world class wave for experienced surfers. Watch out for the two rocks on the inside. Great barrels that turns into a surfing paradise at 6 feet offshore. There is heavy warble and chances are that you will get a mean aqua blue barrel. The scenery alone will blow you away. Besides its aesthetic beauty, the double overhead Ebay is a beast and force to be reckon with.

NIPUSSI
A short right, that breaks down the point from bank Vault. Definitely fun and rippable. Usually has fairly deep water at the point from the take off to the inside. Ends in a riptide that sucks all the water back out to sea. A good option when there is no much swell and usually the most consistent spot in the area.

BANK VAULTS
Is a thick barrelling right punctuated by shifting line up. Sets seemingly emerge out of nowhere and can wreak havoc if you are caught out of position.

4 BOBS
It is a short, playful right-hander swells that break here wrap considerably around the south end of the island and break over a relatively shallow reef.

Ironically, despite its relatively tame appeal, 4 Bobs is a perennial favorite to almost every person who surf it and is one of the most consistent and fun waves.

KANDUI
Is one of the fastest, down the line, left hand barrels in the world. Kandui is an obscenely hollow wave with your only option for survival being tucked inside its enormous, gaping jaws. Unless you’re comfortable pumping inside the barrel the best you can hope for is to find the right line, extra front foot pressure, and hold on. Most the waves will simply outrace you however, the thrill of charging through the longest barrel possible is more than worth the effort. If the conditions are right, you’ll take your share of beatings but chances are you will kick out of the best barrel of your life as well.

HIDEWAYS
It is an occasionally heavy left near the playgrounds region that is frequently visited. In the last few years it has been one of the “go to” waves because it is a lot more consistent than the other world class waves in the area and can handle more annoying wind directions like straight south. Hideways has ability to be a sick cavern or offer up rippable shoulder. You can really surf it on medium high tide, at low tide it sticks out of the water and unless you like reef cuts, stay away.
