King Kong Left, Nagigia Island Surf Guide
Named for the film that was shot on nearby Nagigia Island, this left-hand reef pass is machine-like and perfect, but not as heavy as nearby Frigates Pass or the waves around Tavarua, making it a great introduction to coral reef barrels. Although it is a bit short, King Kong's Left still supplies fun tubes and a nice section to hit.
