Black Mamba
Black Mamba is a quality right point break that requires a 20-minute paddle from Busua Beach. The effort is rewarded with long, walling rights that peel along a rocky point. The wave earned its intimidating name not from danger, but from the fast, snaking walls it produces. A local favorite for those willing to make the paddle.
