Maraa Surf Guide

Maraa is a somewhat fickle left-hander just south of Taapuna that's also often less crowded. Very hollow, thick, powerful and shallow, it runs for quite a distance before wrapping into the pass. It's a technical spot requiring agility and skill. You can actually take off much deeper than it would initially appear when you first get out there. It's not for beginners or those afraid of dangerous tube rides.
