Chapman's Peak mystery lefts.

crazy
Additional Info:
Works similar to an unnamed big wave spot close to Koeel Bay. Needs MASSIVE 20foot plus swell to turn on. Seen it working a few times but its rare. Some local Capetown boys claim to have surfed it but hav'nt seen any proof plus its bloody scary, breaks close to the cliff, just plain suicidal!!
