    The earlier comment must be a joke. I've surfed here for more than 20 years. Locals are friendly. Great place for learners and can turn on in the right conditions.

    I know local who've been riding SUPs there for years. Must be a typo

    Must have a lot of people at this break. Locals only and no sup. I must be getting old (67) and I never came across this sort of tribalism. It was once a share and share alike sport. Them's the time I guess. A pity it looks a nice break.

    I'm a local and have surfed, long boarded for over 40 yrs, ain't no one telling me I can't sup also at my home break.
