There are two main reef passes, Raviravi and
Twin Passage. Both passes have a lefthander and a righthander
opposite each other and about 300 metres apart. On Twin Passage the
righty is an incredibly fun wave, just perfect and totally rippable
with barrels possible at take off and on the inside section if big
enough.
It is an exceptional wave.
