Access
|
jump off the natural basalt rocks next to Bunbury back beach to access the backwash wave. On low tide when the wave comes in and breaks against the rocks, the angle in which the rocks are positioned make a backwash wave in which you can catch and get launched with the oncoming wave. Riders have been seen to be launched around 2 metres about the surface.
