Supertubos
Extreme
Extreme. Expert only. Do not treat this as a spot to try.
Heavy, hollow and shallow over sand. Hold-downs are severe, the lip lands with real force and the line-up is expert. This wave injures people every season.
Photograph coming soon.
Drop supertubos-700.jpg and supertubos-1200.jpg into assets/img/spots/, set "photo": "supertubos" in the data file, and re-run the build.
