general information

On it's day this point break can dish up rides to nearly 300m long in the form of powerful and chunky walling sections.Jelly legs ahoy!! It is cold water surfing remember, for those traveling here from over seas, so bring the best wetty you can afford as well as boots gloves and a hood. Locals tend to be pretty friendly in these parts and will be stoked to surf with you.
