Blacks
Edit SpotAbout
You'll feel like you and your mate are the only two people in the world out there. Looking back at the coastline you'll realise you might as well be if something goes wrong. Don't surf alone.
Atmosphere:
Insane wave on the right day. The shelf dips off into deep water giving off a spooky Noah's ark vibe!
Additional Info:
Intense take-off to a hardcore barrel which sucks right along the reef. Small cutback section as the wave peters out into deep water. It's so shallow that if you get caught inside you may have to reach down and hold onto the reef for dear life as it sucks dry and a six foot wave cracks onto your head.
