Ben Neil from United States
“Boiler is arguably the best reef break in the Pacific Northwest due to its predictability and consistency. On a low tide dropping or raising, with either S, SW, or SE wind, and a solid NW swell, it will be firing. It's a right hand tube that sends a lot of water over a shallow reef/rock. I highly recommend the spot to any surfers/bodyboarders that are experienced and are a little tired of beach breaks.”
