gone - due to tweed river sand bypass sand pumping this wave hasn't existed for years. was a long top to bottom barreling left, thanks to sandpump we've lost kirra & the tweed bar left to be replaced by superbank & its crowd of 600

Easy access from D'bar - Easist access is from D'bar jusp paddel across the Tweed River. Don't freak out if a shark or two pass under you, there is even a resident Grey Nurse that patrols the north wall. A lot of its consistency depends on how much sand pumping is going on. Save the planet & 20kms of fuel - Don't be a pussy - paddle.
