Shayne McGee from South Africa

“Please take note there are locals at this break, it is not a free for all zone. Show respect and you will get waves, disrespect the surfer's code and you likely to have a short and unpleasant session finding yourself on the wrong side of the local Greenpoint Surfrider Foundation and its members.”
