Additional Surfing Infos
 Watch for high tide exits! Waves can push right against cliff wall making exits hazardous at best. To avoid the hell....paddle down beach to Privates or north to 38th St. Also watch for locals! There are some pretty agressive locals around here that want the spot on a pumping south. (which never happens, making them want it even more when it does)
  Overview
  Atmosphere Fun spot.....bad vibe; VERY localized. Bad wave for longboards they arent allowed. If you take one out you'll probably get kicked out; shortboards only. Easy parking if you are lucky, otherwise might be walking a while. Nice spot to watch the waves from cliff edge after a good session.
  General Dont surf here unless you're good, a local, or really know how to stay out of the way. If you DO suck, go to 38th (a short walk/paddle up the shore) or go to Capitola/cowells. Even if you're not a bad surfer, expect to get yelled at once or twice here.

haaha
i use to live out right near free line growing up surfing this spot i come back now as "a weekend warrior" and am soo surprised about how many barneys are trying to regulate a wave in which is easy to learn on fun long wave "not to be takin to seriously" when you have a big surf shop right down the shop and look outs for tourists your gonna expect beginners and clumbsy people. so if your the hot shot that is tryin to come up on the block and surfing this wave you are a born kook and you might to a little better one a wakeboard and a famous t shirt.

a joke
the hook is a mediocre wave that should be left to groms and beginners.

the real barneys here are the guys coveting such a soft wave that offers no challenge. if you are claiming at the hook you are either a) a dork or b) 12 years old.
