Mat from Australia
“I have surfed this spot many times and found it to rival some of the great right handers along the west coast of Victoria. It's an easy paddle in from the rocks but the wave can pitch and give a scary drop but once your on it's a fast and fun ride and you can work the pocket. The bigger it gets the better it gets, really doesn't start to work properly until it's about 3 -4 foot plus.”
