Outing Highlights

THE WAVE

Advanced Wave Riding on a Longer Face

The 65‑foot channel gives riders a longer wave face than the 30‑foot channel, enabling greater speed generation, harder carving turns and the opportunity to practice advanced maneuvers—sessions may even feature air sections.

THE NIGHT

Night Surfing with the Lights On

When the lights come up, sessions can shift into night surfing—an option that changes the feel of the wave and the session atmosphere.

THE GROUP

Private Buyouts for Groups

Private wave rentals let you book the wave for your own group—private buyouts accommodate up to 12 people for gatherings, events or focused group sessions without the crowd.

What the day feels like

What Riding the 65‑Foot Channel Feels Like

The session is engineered for surfers ready to step up: expect a longer face that rewards speed and commitment, a fast, powerful ride that suits technical work and progression, and the option to book private time to focus without interruption.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this session suits—and who should consider a different option.

Proficient SurfersDesigned for surfers comfortable in turbulent water who want to generate speed and practice advanced maneuvers; ideal for those stepping up from smaller controlled waves.

Progressing RidersSurfers advancing from the 30‑foot channel will find the 65‑foot wave a logical next step for longer faces and higher speeds, provided they meet the physical and safety requirements.

First‑Time RidersNot ideal as a first introduction—first‑time riders are recommended to start on the 30‑foot channel; when trying the 65‑foot wave for the first time they must use a soft‑top and wear a safety helmet for an initial set of waves.

Groups & Private EventsPrivate buyouts let groups book the wave (up to 12 people) for an event or focused session, but participants still must meet the operator’s age, height/weight and fitness standards.
