Tangaroa surf guide
Surf: Papa Tangaroa made famous by Laird et alβs second trip to the island in 2001, upped the ante as they towed-in on some insane heavy barrels over the reef. SE swells will make the entry/exit treacherous and bring down some deadly sections - avoid being caught inside the shallow, urchin-covered impact zone. The left looks makeable, but leads to a dangerous place.
Environment: A few locals inspired by these jetski tow-ins now own their own and can always be seen out there when it's on. Popular with the local bodyboarders. Proper experts only wave.
