Spew Pits is named for the urchin-covered reef that will make you wish you hadn't wiped out. The wave is a hollow reef break that produces fast, punchy barrels, but the shallow, spiky reef demands respect. Located on Fuerteventura's north coast, it picks up plenty of swell and works on multiple conditions.
