definately chopoo, because what you dont realize is that cortes bank only breaks when its XXL, and chopoo breaks whenever there is a swell, large or small. ive seen chopoo waist high, perfect barrels, and of course the triple overhead monster lips that you all have seen. so if had to choose a consistent and extreme break, definately chopes

Well..personally I dont want to see what underneath me...'cos I know which exact piece of coral is going to shread my brains into fish food. At least with Cortez you could imagine there is sand underneath...

Overall I prefer teahupoo.



(Just by the way. When you first read teahupoo...does your mind say it like Tea-ooh-poo, or Cheop'o?)

Id rather be able to see the sharks :lol:

Cortez is teaming with sharkies and all sorts of nasties, your in the middle of the ocean...big things live in the middle of oceans :?

Hmm...If you go down on a wave in Teahupoo...you are definately, almost certainly at least scratch the reef.


Where as, if you go down in Cotrez...you just get held under...and """Possibly""" get eaten by a 50ft Cotrtez Ness Monster.

I think it would most certainly hurt falling on either wave, be it a 60 foot monster at cortez or a 15 foot hell tube at teahupoo
