Nick Gay from Australia

“A great place for beginners to intermediates on its good days. The bars at Manuka provide better rides than the short close-outs that most of the beach gets. Locals are friendly, and no hassle because there's so much beach to share. I've outgrown it now to some extent, but I still get caught out some days when the larger sets come in and remind me that they wear the pants. The best clean days might get to about 1 and a half times head height.”
