Blackrock
Edit SpotAbout
Blackrock can only described with one word "magic". This place is what dreams are made of. Once you have surfed here on a good day it will never leave youre mind
Additional Info:
watch your car leave it open if possible, if you find this place try to keep it a secret and keep crowd levels down, The easiest place in the world to get barelled. 1) Pipe is not a secret spot so don't get indignant re crowds (don't expect uncrowded weekends and arvos) 2) Does not hold above 8ft or it 'toilet bowls' out (rock shelf setup with 50m (max) rides) 3)Local indigenous are cool if respected (like everywhere else in the world) 4) Does have a short punchy right for the nat. footers. 5) Best on a 4-5ft E.SE swell that u can backdoor into the main shelf from the outside peak (I think it's called learners) 6) 2 biggest standouts there will be Richo and that local goatboater (for sheer balls alone)... and a couple of local indig's look as comfy as Michael Ho at Backdoor (Hawaii).
