Additional Information
this spot is awesome...you dont even hav to paddle that far out...its so sucky making it a mad break for bodyboarders...sick shoreys..... just have fun its a really fun break with usually no crowd
Atmosphere
good waves....locals are pretty laid back. the atmosphere in the line up is great usually just you and a few on a normal day but can get crowded on weekends and on good days and all locals are usually nice and will talk with ya. does it get any better ? thick lips, long walls,hollow pockets and crystal clear water mark this as one of the top surf spots in the world.thread island style pits all day then catch a feed of fresh fish in the lagoon for dinner!
General
this is the best spot i've ever surfed..i also recomend coalcliff reef round the corner. It can get ridicously good with a dredging shory and good banks out the back. care must be taken as the tremendous power of this joint is not to be taken lightly. i am an experienced slasher and can genuinely say this is the best break between coalcliff and bulga.respect the locals.aloha
