Gordons Bay, Back Reef Access
  mmmm, go to Gordons Bay when theres big swell comming in. Go to the harbour wall at Bikini beach and look out to sea, itll be breaking between main beach and harbour island. Best access is probably from main beach or if you are daring from the harbour wall at Bikini.

Additional Surfing Infos
 There have been a few to surf this wave and youll be lucky to catch it when on and good under the right conditions. Its a powerful reef break with the lefts being longer and more intense. Gets pretty hectic but needs a BIG clean swell to turn on and doesnt much wind.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Wouldnt advise paddling, rather come with a rubber duck or jetski and mates. Currents are surprisingly not too bad compared to greenways or die poort but sharks you gotta watch out for. There have been few spotted but you deep water so..
  General I think best on lower tides. Seen it working only a handful of times, surfed it once and it was cranking!

Uncrowded perfection
This spot seriously cranks, needs a big swell but when its on its superb yet you never see anyone on it? Sure there are sharks but theyre everywhere? The right is much better, longer. Works more often than you think but youll never find anyone on it? Leave it to me.
