Additional Surfing Infos
 Paddle out on the reef. The rip will take you off the reef into the channel.From there you just paddle out to the back.
But be careful surfing there because the reef is real sharp and many injuries have happened their like my dads mate who puntured a lung and broke his ribs. The reef is shallow so dont get caught on the inside.

Gnaraloo
Regarding comments about crowds. Rip Curl is planning to stage an ASP rated event here in the near future.
It will make the place entirely dysfunctional because of crowd.
Go to www.thepetitionsite/1/save-gnaraloo if you want to comment and register your opinion with the WA government.
