dead mans - never surfed deadmans... walk my dog on the beach, no1 really goes out much.. seems ok.

Fun wave - I just surfed this wave today, 50 people out at Alex, me and a mate at Deadmans for an hour. It is rocky out there and you have to pull out before getting caught out on the rocks. It is a reef break, doesn't have to be coral bottom to be a reef. It's not a hard wave, very similar to The kick at Collaroy in Sydney when the swells right.
