Additional Information
Pretty easy, straight forward wave to tackle.
Atmosphere
Needs a big swell to usually start working but always surprises you when you least expect it. Is a fickle and mellow wave but always perfect.
General
One of the 5 million odd perfect left hand breaks of the west coast. Never a crowd. When its flat go take our crayfish and get pissed on the beach.

Alternate name: Shelly's left; is that right Jono? This one doesn't pass the smelly's test Bru. - If it doesn't smell right, that's more often than not because it isn't right. Well they say the grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side. Let's all pray that THE PASTURES WHERE THIS LYING BASTARD'S HEADED FOR ARE GREENER TOO! I've let go of trying to help you Jono, since I cannot expect to ever succeed in such a useless effort in my lifetime, the change you'll require for your own good will have to come from within you Bru.
