Happy Jacks
Happy Jacks is the Mahia Peninsula's reef-and-point setup beside Happy Jacks Boat Harbour, with a quiet access feel and a reputation for working best when northeast swell meets west wind. The wave is more access-driven than flashy, but it has enough character to stand out from the generic Mahia coastline.
