awesum break - This bay is mint, it's like Hickory except it picks up the Big Nor east swells that come through occasionaly and the sand banks arnt constantly destroyed by those huge southern swells like Hickory. Theres an A frame along the end of the beach just before Little Raupo bay that has been there every time ive headed over that peels right for yonks if you pick your wave. catches those sneaky groundys that taylors and brighton miss out on aswell
