Paunch contains reef bottom and breaks left and right. There are 2 or 3 different peaks you can take off from here. This wave is mellower than Dumpers and not quite as powerful. Paunch has long, “rippable” waves that are appropriate for all levels but it mostly attracts less experienced surfers because it is fun and less dangerous than most of the other breaks at Bocas. The waves can get as big as 12 feet, and hold size well. The bigger the wave, the more perfect the tube section. The road has recently been repaired so taxis are now able to reach Paunch.  Depending on the swell size and direction this wave can be a fun playful soft shoulder to a pull in barrel with workable a shoulder. It is a reef break, so wear booties.
