Lush - If Carlsberg made longboard breaks - this would probably be the best wave on the Gower - when it works

hell of a paddle - A great long boarders wave. A little boring but very long and when Gen blown out it can be fantastic. Hell of a rip and you end up paddling constantly just to stand still. Best entry is off the rocks but be careful, though not as bad as it looks.
