The Island is surfed! - This place does go OFF!!No need for tow with a boil takeoff then wide openfaced to a huge jacking double-barrel shotgun of a left. I hear it's easier than the paddle over in terms of sharky-ness!

WOW - I never would have thought that a mile or 2 away from doran there would be those monsters.

Crazy Spot - I've seen some crazy perfect waves out here, BUT, you have to paddle across a deep SHARKY channel, and I think if you blow the takeoff you are headed directly into the rocks - which look sharp. Looks to have the potential to be a great tow-in spot.
