SPOTS MALE NORTH AREA
CockesFamous right to be vertical and fast, though when on 2/3 feet is accessible for everyone, above this size becomes expert! |
ChickenLeft with 2 main sections, with good condition tends to make barrels. The second section who breaks into the channel is accessible to everyone. |
JailsLong right with 4 distinct sections that in good swell condition and optimal wind join to form a single infinite wave. Accessible for intermediate and advanced. |
SultansRight renowned for being all-round, from intermediate to advanced, but on 5 ft has 2 tubing sections worth noting. |
HonkysLeft that breaks on the opposite side of Sultan, fun, with a very easy takeoff and an inside section that doubled over the starting size. With good condition it is a long and very fun wave. |
