Visitor Reviews of Avaavaroa Passage


Brian from COOK ISLANDS writes:

A nice right in the right conditions, plenty of power and a nice barrel section. Never crowded, would be surprised to see another surfer out there. Make sure you have a good legrope as you dont want to end up swimming around out there.
