Don't fear the locals - Don't fear the locals. Very few are aggro and the ones who are, are just egotistical and wimps. Be polite and don't drop in and with the good guys you'll have no problems. The others you shouldn't worry about. There's also an after surf bonus here as with a lack of local real men, the local girls prefer the visitors. So, make sure your wetsuit isn't the only rubber you take!

- This break is sick! Im a hardcore local here and this break can get sick! Yeah bit of localism here. But come with respect and you will get waves. The same with any spot around the globe.
The wall can pump on the right conditions. I took a bomb and got a hernia! Amazing. 7 Months off work on full pay. Even managed a trip to Indo. God bless the wall!

- Sick break! Summer months you can score the vortex! A sick wedge watch the locals bust some huge shit off this wedge! When the wall is working you can get some huge pits out there, Wait for the tide to drop back a bit more and score suck rock if ur brave enough. When its over 5ft it can get real intense. Up there with any break in europe!

Home sweet home - Living in Sydney now and last 3 times I've been home the wall hasn't been working, gutting. On its day, it's right up there. The 'Locals Only' sign always makes me laugh and I know I'm back among the idiots!
