Paddle about 200m out off mystics, there's a big ledgy right hander at the back which is filled with sharks and open water if you're game enough, a left which is on the right side of the island, warps and looks like shippies on a big day and one which goes both ways which is at the top right of the island.

If you take the right be ready to get pitted and if you wipe out prepare to get a beating, if you go the left be ready when it warps on ya cause it can be pretty sketchy and if you go the other one it's just perfect, sick pit and a lovely ramp to come out of the pit to.
