the place can be a natural foot tube junky delight or a nightmare.
often closes out but you can get long hollow pits.

ketewel cranx - i surfed here for the first time yes. and it was heaving, seen a huge shark fin just outside the line up and a few mins later the locals reeling the thrashing monster in. with only 6 guys out and top to bottom barrels no way were we paddling in. my mate hit the reef and got scraped on his first wave. i surfed here even bigger this morning and got some smokers. guess where im surfing tom? u got it.....
