 Additional Information

Very exposed reefbreak but looks sort of like a pont setup. Works on simular conditions to Eland. Slow moving lefthander sometimes fades so takeoff and first part is the best. Gets long on a clean NW groundswell. Can get fairly hollow but Elands or farmers burgers will be better.

Atmosphere

Good walk to get there so check before hand that conditions are right before checking it out otherwise youll be dissapointed for the mission. Dont know if its private property so park your car further away from tollgate and if you get back and busted just tune them you didnt know.

General

Come when theres no wind or slight offshore. The trick is getting it on a windless day. Loses a star for not handling wind. Anyone else surfed here?
