Butterbox
Edit SpotAbout
Epic, gotta surf it. Great for your cutback bottom turn repetuor.
Atmosphere:
A relitively quiet spot, but spooky and if no-ones out you can hear a howling noises coming from the barrel. Very scary late in the afternoon don't want to surf when it gets dark it becomes really sharky.
Additional Info:
Confident on lefts,watch for rips leading to the sea, don't surf early morning, late night alone, best to wear booties and watch for flying golf balls. Holds up to 10ft but breaks a bit wide and isnt its best.
