Okay the facts! - My wife family lives a few hours from here, so i thought id check it out..Sorry but this aint the same wave that timmy turner surfs, way shorter and not that hollow,its more like a short imposibles/balangan in bali, kind of sections in front of you offshore in trades but only surfable at high tide.
