general information

A top quality right hand boulder point break that pitches its first lip close to the boulder point. The locals here are renouned for being pretty hardcore too so make sure you can surf and surf well and bring with you plenty of respect of the standard surfing etiquette, be patient and you might start to get a wave or two. It's a ledging take off into a wedgey barrel and a smooth run along the point.
