general information

One of Wales best waves, it's long and powerful, only the experienced need apply!! The take off is right in front this small offshore island over almost dry rock, it then tubes down the line with one of two outcomes, a memorable barrel for the rider, or you'll picking barnacles out of your ass! There is a strong rip that pushes though the lineup moving you away from the peak. Show locals some respect here.
