Additional Information

Extensions gets hollow and fast. A rocketing righthander that's a bit mushy in every-day conditions, the wave flies down a rock shelf and sandbank combined, then refracts around a corner into a channel. When good, you can take off further over towards the middle of the beach, extracting more juice out of a barrelling take-off zone. Best in easterly winds, or a light to moderate northwesterly.

Atmosphere

When its big the takeoff can get hairy. SUPER HOLLOW and long.

General

On of my favourite spots in the reserve.
