Challenging, hollow, heavy and often perfect. This right-hander breaks thick, hard and square and is ideally surfed with a bit of extra foam so you get into the wave nice and early. Bank Vaults can handle up to triple over-head, but also works from around head high. It’s a wave capable of delivering the best barrel of your life. Surfers should watch out for the sets, it's a big reef and breaks in 2 or 3 areas, so choose your spot wisely, sit, wait and be patient! Wide sets will usually catch out most surfers - and they always turn up. Getting caught on the inside means long hold downs in very turbulent water but doesn’t dish out the reef cuts some might think, which is certainly a welcome relief to the rest of the shallow reefs in the area. 


The wave is centrally located in the area, most the camps/resorts are within a 10-15 minute speedboat ride away.
