Andrew from Australia

“Right Point holds up to 3m plus. Good workable left when working. Barrels can be found when big enough. When the conditions are all working the ride can be very long if you connect all the sections from the back then the bowl over thistles and down to the old jetty 250-300 metres. The paddle back is a bitch so get out and run back through the car park.
Watch out for rocks, white pointers, bronze whalers and the sweep.”
