Hideaways

Hideaways is a heavy and hollow left that breaks over a very shallow irregular reef of colorful corals. The wave has a late drop ‘ledge’ style and deep barrels on the deeper section close to the main peak and an easier take off with a section good for turns breaking wider.

Recommended board: Fast board with good paddle speed designed for barrels!
Our advice: Hideaways is a heavy wave, be ready for late take offs and heavy barrels…with the outgoing tide the rip turns into a flowing river, paddle hard to keep position and watch out for the coral heads popping up on the inside as the tide drops.
