INDIES SURF SPOTS :: THE HOLE


A movie was made just about this wave, it’s that good. Although this left hander is not long, it makes up for its relatively short length by the quality and wideness of its barrels.

This is seriously a wave where your grandma could get barreled if only she could make the drop! Where you take off on the wrong side of the peak and come charging through without touching sides, standing straight up, no pumping required just hold your line. The Hole allows you to ride deeper in the barrel than anywhere else. Sometimes you are so far back that you can’t see out, with the foam ball licking at your ankles like a demented dragon…and just when you think all is lost she will spit you into the channel like a flavorless piece of gum. 

When its head high and high tide it is a fun wave for all. But when it’s double overhead it’s a wave to remember! Surfers caught on the inside often end up getting washed onto the beach…take a stroll along the sand (away from the zone!) and paddle back out, that’s what you came here for!
