r u ralphing???? - come on ralph,you know as well as me that touro's will feel the wrath of the brotherhood.just ask edan and hes spose to be a "local".As for bill bailey-he used to surf once!!!graveys is an overated wave with a resonable take off and a fat fat fat wall to the inside-just like the patch.go to raglan for some real waves and less chance of being smashed by somebody straight outa once were warriors.
