Chinamans Surf Photo: 'chi's take off small day, over cast.' by steeve whitehead

always fun, the take off at chi's. a sudden convergence on the reef pulls the wave in from both sides into a triangular peak which the tubes and walls off. good for back door body boarding, elevator shaft take offs, can be freaky when it starts to get bigger. very photogenic from the near by cliff and stairs. off shore north east- north. I had my first 8 foot bronze whaler shark swim under me here.

Everyone cops a thrashing out here sooner or later Dave. Chinamans is a fun wave on a day like this, especially on a bodyboard.

I surfed china mans on a small day and caught some god waves. Landed on the reef at the end of the ride and could not get out of bed the next morning
