    “DOHO is a break that attracts mostly long board surfers of all abilities, experience, and ages. The three breaks (bone yards, second spot and rivermouth) can get crowded on weekends.

    When the surf is up the outer reef beyond second spot can be the start of loooong rides either right or left.

    Unless it is really small the (almost machine like) groomed waves allow for tricks and follies that other places can't.”
