Zorbas Reef
Edit SpotAbout
Epic but one thats only for the elite sufer with big pockets due to the costs of hiring a boat and jetskis.
Atmosphere:
Probably the biggest spot anywhere in the UK. This is the UK's version of Cortes Bank. Gets little publicity as so far out to sea and rarely surfed as a result.
In the area of another tow in spot named Cribbar
Additional Info:
Tow ins only due to its size. Only access is via boat.
