the 2nd pic is of lacken rights at the end of the bay,only really works on a wnw swell direction,too much north in the swell direction it hits the whole beach and closes out,but when it is wnw it just catchs the end and the rights pump,just got it by chance the 1 time and was wicked,barrels,rips and a few close outs when 5ft sets came thru,lots of paddling,but worth the work
