wankers - Jados and Jaden are both grommets who dont even surf at castaways....they surf sunshine beach and want people to surf somewhere else.Sunshine and peregian hold larger waves and are deeper and as a result dont close out like shallow castawayshave a look and you can easily see what i mean..it will be at least 25% smaller than everywhere else
