Dont Surf here alone!You need special permision from the goverment officials to get in here with a wetsuit and fins ,but mostly they dont pass by and you can just get in and go surf.Drive thru Gansbaai and follow the sign that says Danger Point youll know it when you see it their are almost 20 reef breaks in this area alone most of them surfed by the odd local but the best waves are to the right of the bay look for a awsome left wedge!
Atmosphere
Dangerous bru wouldnt surf here alone and it gets pretty gnarly and big but also fun on small days!youve been warned!
General
Come clame your wave
