groovy little wave - I was riding this little hellion over christmas. There wasn't much swell when I was there but it's still good with a long board. It always seems to break good though, rarely ever closing out. I highly recommend staying at the Viva, it's great.

We scored!! - Great wave when a southern hemi south is in the water. Fairly easy access, tough long paddle but well worth the effort........kinda like upper trestles, without the people
