    “Constant 7-8ft barrels. This break has a absolute cooking right hander of the reef and if you have big enough balls the break on top of the reef is a heavy slab. further down the beach there is a heavy shorebreak which gives barrels every time. Locals are hostile so would recommend to bring safety gear to avoid being knocked out by a punch. A helmet is recommended as the surf gets pretty gnarly out at reddaz.”
