There are a number of clearly visible reefs in the lagoon that have to be circumvented. We therefore recommend that you wear shoes in the lagoon. There is a further challenge for very experienced wave riders about 2 km away: the outer reef, Manawa, with mast-high waves. We offer all proficient wave riders regular surf excursions there. If conditions are too dangerous, we cannot offer these trips and trust that you will appreciate our reasons.
