Daly Heads
Edit SpotAbout
this is my favrouite spot in th whole of S.A because of the barrels you can get.
Atmosphere:
this wave on a good day is epic with heavy barrels and vertical take off's defenetaly not for beginers. when your out here you have 2 wach your self because there is also a suck rock on the inside sometimes you can see it and others you cant but its there. lots of dolphins there as well so dont be suprised if one pops up next to you.
This is a sceary wave as well because of the power it can put out so be prepeard to hold your breath for a long time.
when iv been there its just been me and 2 other guys because it scears the shit out of people. my mates say the take off is scearier than chinimans but i dnt think so its what your use to though i guess.
wel hav fun with this spot its pretty easy to find its sign posted all the way their its just befor salmn hole and dust bowl.
wel any way hav fun with this wave but respect it at the same time
Additional Info:
just take the drop the take a big carv up the sholder execpt when barreling grab the rail and slid down the face of it its the only way 2 make it
