About

The bigger it gets the the better it gets, just try not to think to much about what's below the dark water water your sitting in and concentrate on barrels you want to get in.

Atmosphere:
It's good to watch the break for a while if it's sizey because you will see a few wipeouts as the take off is a steep quick one and the reef is a shallow sharp one.

Additional Info:
this is proberbly the most surfed spot by the locals in the area so you will never get it good and empty unless there's a shark in the water and no one's told you!

it's the first wave you'll see after you drive past rhino's tavern into the park (unless it's flat). It is also sign posted so you'd have to be visually challenged not to find it!
