boofs
Edit SpotAbout
the wave was named after a local boog named "boof" who rips the s;@%t out of this place, and when out commands alot of respect
Atmosphere:
when the banks are working this is the best beach break on the island,way better than woolamai and just ahead of smiths and ycw. if its over 4ft you better bring ya gaff helmet with ya or you will feel the wrath of the almighty beach break called boofs. the main danger about the notorious banks at the break named boofs is that watch at for the buchaneers that float around the shoulder, they will not let anyone surf the joint apart from pirate aka boof
Additional Info:
park car at the car park on the point. You will see the main reef straight out breaking, look left and you will see boofs, you cant miss it
