HYDROGRAPHIC REFRACTION, TAKEOFF & EXIT CHANNEL PROFILE
Beach & Reef Bottom ProfileGolfdynamica (Zand & Rif): Lange deiningstreinen (10s+) breken direct op het onderzeese vulkanische plateau en bundelen 45 kJ aan golfkracht op de takeoff-zone terwijl de golf zuiver afloopt. De aangrenzende geul voert het water rustig af zonder surfers de impactzone in te trekken.
