Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
This spot is a little sketchy on your first day out there because of a number of things. One, there is a large great white shark colony in this southern area. Secondly, there is a grumpy old local that lives opposite the break and thinks that he owns it. I forget the dudes name, but he usually surfs it with all his buddies & his two dogs stand guard on the beach. If heīs there, take my leave as heīs a bit agro. |

General |
Great set up, shame about the one hardened local. |
