Additional Surfing Infos
 The best way to get out to the Box is by parking your car at the Ettalong ramp and scabbing a boat ride out to the Box. I f you want to paddle its extremely hard when against the current. 1.8 KM paddle out. When surfing this break when its huge and firing, be careful not to get caught inside because the rip drags you in and your a gonna.
  Overview
  Atmosphere The atmosphere is unbelievable. Sometimes the jetskiers stuff the wave up but when they go its epic, no one out there next to a National Park with Boats going past.
  General The locals go out sometimes but now there too lazy to get off there bums so they wait till its firing right through with 1km rides.

I was looking at it the other day and its along way out so if you want to get it easily you will need a boat, but not everyone has a boat so i think you would have to go out in the channel maybe when the tide is going out

Box
Works more than that, just check when tide is lower, and avoid weekends in summer. Too many jetskis etc with jerkskis riding them
