HYDROGRAPHIC REFRACTION, TAKEOFF & EXIT CHANNEL PROFILE
Beach & Reef Bottom ProfileGolfdynamica (Zandbodem (Beachbreak)): Lange deiningstreinen (11s+) breken direct op het onderzeese vulkanische plateau en bundelen 70 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.
