west ends sick!!! - west ends one of the sickest waves ive ever surfed! it gotta be one of the powerfulest waves on the planet... sometimes it can hit 12-15ft plus, but on those days most people just kick back on the beach and watch on in amazment as the local heros sam delahunty and issac walker rip it up... MAN THOSE DUDES CAN SURF!! respect brudaz! peace out.
