Depending on size, Pipe breaks over one of three reefs. First Reef breaks more often and has the most impact, handling up to 10 feet with the perfect cylinders that gave Pipe its name. The extreme shallowness -- only a few feet in some spots -- translates to a bounce off the craggy, cement-like reef with each wipeout. Second Reef is a bit farther out, fringing in the 10- to 18-foot range as it regroups into a First Reef bomb. Third Reef, which starts to come alive at 20-foot-plus, breaks a good half-mile from shore and is rarely surfed.
woah guys thats crazy thanks for your replies. when you wipeout and hit the reef, isnt it very sharp and you get cut up? or is it not since its a lava reef?
