Manawa or Jaws is the wave past the main pass looking south, facing the center and hotel. It can hold pretty big, and is a rolling foam ball with the odd faster section, ideal for aspiring kiters and windsurfers. Beware when the swell is large, the current in the pass is in the same direction as the wind (out to sea), and can instantly kill the wind when you hit it.
