Good in most swells except south - too much current and no form in south swell. Esp good during summer cyclone swells - can hold up to 8-10ft but then shuts down (but the Guillotine starts to fire).
Inside section quite tame and good for beginners in smaller swell.
Atmosphere
Good surf on a 8+ swell, good also when small
