Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Legend has it that the white area is called the white area from back in the day when african boys werent allowed to swim there. One time, in 1952 my dad said a black boy got stoned to death because he wanted to body surf where the big waves were.
This place can get big. It only breaks about once a year and you never know when its gonna happen. It takes a perfectly aligned swell and swell period to work. It is down by the folly, by the really long jetty. Paddle out, but dont get sucked out to africa in the rip. Those rips sneak up on you like a child molester in a collared shirt cruising in a Ford E-250 Van. Basically, this place can get REAL BIG, we're talkin like maybe chest to possibly slightly over head on the bigger sets. It takes a huge westnorthwest swell to get it on, and a slight southeast wind couldnt hurt either. Once the sets start macking on the shallow bottom, it gets NASTY!!! You will get dominated like no tomorow, if you get closed out in a big barrel, it will feel like someone just threw you in the gas turbine combustor.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
The atmosphere is bad. One time I was surfing by myself at Sea Pines (about 8 or 10 miles away) and some longboarder came out of no where and snaked me on this perfect little set. The thing that made me mad was he fell almost imediately after going straight. |
| |
General |
I think this spot is cool if you know how to handle larger waves, and you have to shoot the curl good. You also have to be aggressive and can't take crap from anyone, except yourself. |
