General

Silkies is a great bodyboarding spot.The Barrles are perfect when the winds blowing right and the swells big enough.Silkies ain't such a good spot for surfers.It's really shallow there.I got a wipeout once and broke my shoulder when i hit the bottom.So go and enjoy jourself and dont hit the bottom.
