Danger Reef Surf Photo: 'Hightide on The Right' by Gianluca de Gasparis

Seriously underrated little backdoor next to the more popular left. Needs a full high (spring is best) with as big swell as will come through without breaking on the second reef first. Can get super heavy when it doesn't get all steppy and fall apart.
