Additional Surfing Infos
 Well park your car in the car park and walk down the track to the beach. It is on the right off the end of the rocks, you cant miss it. Be carefull cause there is alot of sharp rocks when you are walking out.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Backsides is basically flat rock, in between lennox head and ballina, it is a nice beach to go for a walk and go fishing, it's a great place to take the day out.
+
This place is fun when its 2-3ft but it's a neck and board chewing machine when its big. The wave looks a bit like a mini Teahupoo when it's on. It lurches out of deep water and many waves suck dry. I have seen big sharks here. It is rare to get it truely good but the hideous take off and true square barrels make it fun. Beware Begginners !
  General The wave can be fun but is never truely good. Don't bother if your not local! I have seen queenslanders cars getting fucked up for coming here!

don't even bother with this its a pile of shit foamy on the rocks any tide or wind.
sharks are as bad as eveyrone says here.
