Wave breaks right in front of a large cliff face and can cause backwash on some days to affect the wave. Jump off cliff to right of break to get out and good luck getting in as its not easy. Take off is very ledgy then open racy barrel which is super heavy and can angle in a bit before spitting violently. If you dont make the wave you might be in a lot of trouble, you'd hate to be pressed up against the rocks.
Atmosphere
Very heavy wave best left to those with extreme talent or death wish. The cliff makes this wave especially intimidating, more so than any other break on the southside. When the 'bra boys' are out there (usually when its good) dont even bother going out, just watch and admire.
General
Awesome, breathtaking and mesmerising.

wow - both surfing and body-boarding are fantastic sports, my question is why spend hours yelling and screaming about which sport is better and how body boarding has mitch and surfing has koby the sport was originally made by for a relaxing way to hang out and have fun. Its has become a competitive sport and thats great. But its not something that needs to become who is better or worse or your only cool if you surf or bodyboard. Both sports are fantastic. A break is a break who cares in life there are so many more interesting things sports including. I have only started surfing and lets face it i am not that great. But i even have met some pro surfers some having similar lives to koby not so much the gangs but struggled through many things in life. And surfing for them was there way of escape. Before i surfed i used to snowboard all over America and I used to think yeah whatever snowboarding is harder and its the best sport and i used to have a localism side of the mountain. But I started teaching people how to board and a kid once said to me when the boarder knocked him down where you ever like that. I was shocked its not something to be proud of yeah i am not saying your shouldn't love where you come from but lets say if i was still localising the mountain and you come along trying to land a rail. Back in the day in ould have pushed you down and taken your rail before you got on. Its not about character because realistically none of us are perfect and yeah i get angry when someone takes a wave or snakes me. But i learn to move on and accept it, mostly because i am not that great of a surfer, but seriously there are bigger issues in life. If I was a good surfer i would be trying to teach someone how to grab a nice wave or help them progress. The case with OURS well i don't have an opinion because its just some land and some water your fighting over so i don't know what to say about it. I also don't know the whole history around the bra boys or anything i have watch there documentry and I find there extreme athelete's amazing and mitch I watched a video and I thought impressive athelete. Thats all they are people with a different face and a different story. Maybe some people who read this may think i am just some stupid guy who thinks he knows stuff about surfing when he doesn't your right i don't infact, And thats your opinion and thats your right but i would like you to think about what if i saw a kid today surfing or bodyboarding and i helped them out. The kid i trained in snowboarding went on to being a real success and is now competing occasionally. Anyway my main arguement is that its a sport and it was made to have fun and relax.
