The wave
A heavy right-hand barrel in the middle stretch of the North Track, named for the intensity with which it can spit surfers off their boards. Spew Pits breaks over shallow lava reef with genuine power, favoured by the North Track's more experienced regulars.
It sits among dozens of similarly punchy reef options along this dirt road, each demanding respect for the shallow bottom. Come only with solid reef-break experience, booties, and a healthy respect for the wave's reputation.
