Additional Information
Ok so lets face it. The spot is not G-land but manalive, when you are stuck in swell starved Powell River for the winter, it might as well be. I've had a heap of fun here. Bring a big board or a fish becase you will be surfing a lot of reforms. The best time to hit it is on the trailing edge of a howling storm. You can get some pretty fun rides. Have and awesome session.
Atmosphere
If you see white caps way out the straight near Texada island. It's on like tron.
General
Man, I love it. When it goes it's like the smell of pancakes cooking on Saturday morning. What a treat.

Hansons - I've surfed it and although it's rare, it's fun. A great stoke release in Powell River. Thanks.
