Edit SpotAbout
Fun wave, on the bigger swells, massive shories.
Atmosphere:
friendly atmosphere
Additional Info:
Easy access to spot, Big shories on bigger swells. Fun and clean wave, watch out for the rocks if you wipe out, don't crash into the shark net and you are sweet... This spot breaks very, very rarely though, so don't count on it. Take off quite deep if you can, you'll get a longer ride, and if the wave is big enough you can ride it into the shorebreak. Barrels only when you take off deep.

Go to kingcoppal school and you will see a big sign telling you turn left. Easy to find. It breaks to the right of the shark net as you look out at the water.
