BACKDOOR
Backdoor is located on the North Shore in front of Ehukai Beach Park, across the street from Sunset Beach Elementary School. It is the
same wave as the Banzai Pipeline, but breaking to the
right side and sometimes called “Backdoor Pipeline”.
This right has a steep takeoff and a fast barrel. Only
the most experienced surfers should surf this spot. |
