Panaitan Rights Surf Guide
Panaitan Rights, or Apocalypse, was made famous by a surf video shot by supposedly "feral" surfers from California. A Surfer Magazine cover shot of the wave helped to create the illusion of HT's-like perfection. In reality, after a super steep drop and a nice barrel section, the wave seems to turn a corner and the barrel becomes increasingly difficult to make, even by the best. Like its cousin across the bay, One Palm Point, Panaitan Rights is fickle and tide sensitive.
