Only surfed by a handfull of local bodyboarders (no standups have the figs to tackle it). Not a surfers wave, best lider wave in Queensland. It crancks, don't hit it up if you're not an experienced bodyboarder.
Atmosphere
Very sharky, you wont really give a **** when you see the wave, but sharky. 20 min paddle. It's an awesome wave (would have to be the best reef in Queensland).
General
It's just an unreal wave, when you score it good every wave will spit, just pull in and you will have the best surf of your life.
Had the best surf of my life here by far (comparable to Box or Shark Island) when the beach break is 2 foot this spot will be 4 plus.

Re:Really? - Ive lived in noosa for 30 years which is 5 more than Kieren. Im certain he has never been out there ever! But in amoungst his deceit is truth that the break can be riden standing rather than lying down. More importantly Walzies dad has surfed the box 20 foot.
