it's prtty full on.long paddle out off a cliff,round the outside of a big deep water kelp bed.need some mates to go with or you could get into trouble.deep black water and scares the hell out of you.
Atmosphere
the first indo type wave i ever saw.hollow ledgy and out in the deep water makes you feel vunerable being at one of the most southern points of nz.slope ponit is level with this spot.

Cold water, Seals, big Sharksand Kelp. - Grew up suring this area, Dont think its like indo, good wave though, has it's good days. Can be abit freaky paddling out. Have seen a few seals getting around. Big shark's everywhere down here. As for the kelp, anoying stuff on the surface, suprisingly beutiful underneth, looks like an under water forest when diving through it.
