Dangers
Additional Information
BEWARE, the waves appear suddenly and suck up verry steep and there usual verry big. there is a mass slab of rock just to the right so u have to pull off before you hit it or your fucked and watch the rip or you will end up heading towards terrigal.
Atmosphere
This wave is over quick becaus its a reef surrounded by deep water. there is a sand bar normaly then about 10 m from the rocks the sand ends and becomes rock. its a really fast wave and is over in about 3-5 seconds as there is little to no room. its a 20 m wave maximum.
General
when it works its really good but you cant charge it if its to big or breaking to close to the rocks coz u cant pull off. the arial photograph isnt backreef its cove back reef is further along.

NA shredder - I once saw a bloke nicknamed the crabb (i think he walks funny) pull into a eight second pit and ollie the island out there. It was intense. Then we he came in, his mate, Jimmy Parkins was on the beach sniffing the sheeks undies!!
