It's to my understanding that you have to 'ocean dive' these heavy breakers, rather than duck diving. Anyone have want to share their experience on this deadly reef of a spot? I plan on heading up their this winter.

Well, the problem with pipe is there are patches of razo- I mean reef. I heard people get caught in it since duckdiving is not feasible when the break just smashes them and their board onto it.

ya theres a few breaks down my end that at a negative tide its not phesable to duckdive as you will duck into reef. Very scary if caught inside with no where to go :wink:

sometimes when the tide is little low and the surf is big, you can't use the scuba dive or duck dive. you just gotta eat it and live with it :bang:
