Nipussi is a high-performance right situated inside a reef-laden cove. Most people line up at the apex of the point and surf a solid wall that hugs the inside, but during a west swell some people prefer to sit wide and wait for the swinger sets which break in the middle of the cove. Nipussi always has waves and is a good alternative when the rest of the islands are flat. It's known as one of the mellowest waves in the islands but it's still a powerful wave. When it get's in the quadruple over head size, we have seen it look like perfect reverse Teuhopuu, so it is definately not only for 'Pussys'!
Our Advice: Nipussi is at it's best when it is medium tide, when decent tubes rides, and high performance surfing are some times possible. At high, and low tides, there is not much of a lip to hit here so we suggest big section floaters or sweeping roundhouse cutbacks to be the best approach. It's beautiful here, have fun.
Recommended Board: Depends on the conditions. Just use what you think would work best, experiment with other fins, and just have a sick vacation in the process!
