Blackfellows
Edit SpotAbout
One of the heaviest, powerful waves in South Oz. If you get barreled here you won't ever forget it.
Atmosphere:
Surrounded by deep, dark channels. A surfer was killed by a shark at this break.
Additional Info:
Blacks is the best left on the coast. It is a very gutsy wave that affords no mercy. It is a long paddle out to Blacks and the surfer that can handle this wave is courageous and athletic. Not for the feint hearted Blacks has claimed one young life by shark attack and they are not the only Heavy locals! There is a lot of water in these waves waiting to crush you on the sharp limestone reef.
