sweeeet - too right, this place rips. Even on a little swell it barrels its tits off. Lucked into a lovely 3ft session here with only one other guy out with his son. Head straight towards the rock quick bottom turn and your in the sweetest barrel which spits you out into the channel and repeat. The rock is nasty so you wouldn't want to get slammed into it no way. Also as you are in the barrel you are knee deep or less over some rock so if you don't make it theres a sure chance of a world of pain. Enjoy, take your turn and be nice to the locals.
