Shoreys - This place gets some of the gnarliest shoreys on the right day! Loving it. Goldy Skimboarders come here when the beach steeps up, there nuts! boosting some hard out airs! and sick wraps! one dude who has a white carbon skimboard shreds!!

Worst months ever - Hardly worked properly for months multiple fast breaking peaks no long walls, 40' sand pumping pipe left in the break must be part of the problem plus all the other messing with nature down the coast - Snapper not as good now either
