Good wave
I visited this wave a few winters back and lucked into uncrowded, overhead barrels. Short wave with good barrel section. Not as dangerous as people are making it out as there is relative safety 30 yards away in the channel. I cant see this place holding more than 10 surfers without a problem of some sort arising.

Crab
unfortunatly this wave is now so overcrowded when its on that it is hardly worth looking at. a pity because its fantastic wave. Certainly not the first reef that you should surf - ie anyone just moved on from a bic/mini mal, put your time in on other reefs, take your beatings and learn the right way to behave on a decent, fast, hollow wave.
