The real Rush Reef - This break is where the name Rush Reef originated, and where it belongs. The Inn Break, just to the south of it, does not deserve the name Rush Reef, and kooks on holiday have used Surfing Magazine's 80's screw-up ever since to tell themselves that they were surfing a heavy left, when in fact the Inn break left never gets heavy, for its size, though it does get sizeable. Let's just toss the lame name Indicas, or just let the islanders call this break that; the name Rush Reef was coined specifically for this break.
