general information

This beak also known as 'disappearing sands', as a large swell completely erodes the sand leaving bare rocks exposed. Quite powerful, it throws up a short solid peak that can give the unwary a good hammering. Popular with bodyboarders and bodysurfers seeking a short heavy super hollow ride.
