Basically when you get to Augusta keep goin on the highway till you get to the lighthouse. On the right you will see a road that says Waterwheel. Turn right there and jump off the boulders.

Additional Information
Just like The Box, only a left-hander. No time for a bottom turn take-off on angle and take the drop. Hell sick barrel sections, out in the lineup about 50-60m offshore look for the white rock. Thats the takeoff spot

yer well... - ive seen it pretty good before,mind you its heaps fickle,and i wouldnt even bother going out wen its breaking on inners,but if theres swell,its breaking on outers and the winds give you justice then it could be a small slice of uncrouded fun.
