Kirra
Edit SpotAbout
Needs a fair bit of swell to get it working
Atmosphere:
One of the best waves in Oz, but you need the speed when its goin off.
Additional Info:
Kirra actually has two waves, first and second groyne; its the first groyne which is the main event. One of the fastest heaviest barrels anywhere on a sandy bottom. The wave dredges water and sand of the floor and then jacks up and then mackas down the line. If you're fast enough and on it, its a sick ride, if you're too slow, you eat it...
