Additional Information
There are two waves named Garbage Dumps Rights and Lefts. The right is a point break with slow moving walls. The left is also a point break, best on the low tide. The ride ends in front of a rocky shelf. East winds are offshore and it needs a biggish swell before it works. Lots of kelp around.
Atmosphere
You might struggle to find this spot if you dont know the west coast. Fullsuit essential.
General
Classic long waves. Gets Perfect!

This one is for real - This spot is not a fake, have a look on http://www.wavescape.co.za/spots-by-region/west-coast.html. BUT watch out becuase most of "Jono", "saffajon" other spots are hoaxes.

Do you think you're fooling anyone AGAIN Jono? - You spew enough garbage out of your mouth than the world's biggest garbage dumps could hold Bru.
Here's some brotherly advice that WILL help heaps of ways:
Find a church you like, attend it regularly, lead your misguided posse there w/you & keep praying as long as you all shall live for your collective salvations.
