Razors
Edit SpotAbout
If you don't like the taste of rock, I wouldn't go. This place is also been called BUTTONS reef. It has been featured in Riptide Bodyboarding Mag.
Atmosphere:
It can be a very testing wave. With one take off spot, it can get crowded very easy.
Additional Info:
Take the second left going away from the pub. Park you car at end of the street, the walk down the track down along the point.
This wave has been called a little Shark Island. On a swell that is 3ft+, the wave will break on a bombie. This will give you a easier start into the wave. The main section is about less then a foot deep. A very good bodyboarders wave.
