First solution: park south of Pillar Point. Walk over the hill to a small beach near the north jetty. 40mn paddle. Second solution: boat trip from Princeton Harbor.
World famous big wave! HEAVY DUTY BIG WAVE SPOT WITH COLD WATER AND PLENTY OF SHARK. EXPERIENCED BIG WAVE RIDERS ONLY. Sometimes the left has been surfed. The take-off is hollow, in front of big boulders (Boneyard area). After, you surf a long big wall and finish in a deep channel (still alive?). Tow-ins become very popular.

Aussies must have some soft cocks to be bagging on U.S. breaks. Never see any yanks bagging on Aussie breaks...and it would be easy. With names like "Cyclops" and "Salty Dogs", sounds like euphemisms for cocks. I guess when you can't bugger a sheep, another "macho Aussie male" will always do in a pinch. Homo
