Heavy bru.. - Ja bru but you hav'nt surfed it at 6 plus when it swallows you, tears your skin off on the reef and has the possibility of turning YOU into shark bait.. Come surf it and see for yourself.

Mutant - Localism...regional classic? Looks like mutant crap. Why even bother? These waves are not surfing waves. Regional classic for shark bait maybe...
