Kandui is truly a world class, freight train, left-hand barrel. Hollow, fast, and heavy. Hence the nickname "No-Kandui", it’s hard to out run, but if you do you’ll never forget it. Even expert surfers are humbled by this wave when it’s pumping. Some incredibly long barrels have been recorded at this break and it can handle up to triple overhead. Kandui breaks with ferocity and intensity and should only be surfed on the fuller tide and at least head high in size. In fact, although it breaks with more consequence on a bigger swell, it actually becomes more makeable and easier to surf especially when riding a slightly longer board.
