46 Barrel 1

The Barrel 1 is the smallest barrel wave on the menu. The wave stands head-high at take-off and has a smooth drop into an open-face section that allows good surfers to perform 1-2 maneuvers before entering the barrel section. The Barrel 1 is suitable for competent surfers interested in fine tuning their tube riding skills or those surfers trying it for the first time.
