About

IF you are surfing here look for me, my name is Surfslut. :)

Atmosphere:
Everyone should surf here

Additional Info:
There are four spots in this lil horse shoe bay. Chickens is a rocky beachbreak, for those scared to venture out to the reefs. Seconds is out to the left. Firsts is to the right and has a longer left...the right starts off nice and gets fat as it dies in the rivermouth. Easy paddle out (dry hair usually). Further to the right is a rocky ledge called waterfalls as there are some lil waterfalls of the cliff...it is for experts only and is a left close to rocks.
This is a super spot to surf and when the swell is in its a MUST. Canadian surfers especially at this spot are very friendly and offer you free coffee and fried chicken. Everyone should experience this wonderfull place.
