Garden Island
Edit SpotAbout
Its a wave that is hard to access and i would I wouldent bother unless you really had a thing for this wave. There is better waves near by which are alot easier to access
Atmosphere:
It is a very quite spot. The wave is very swallow and when you get to far out on the flat doing a bottom turn your fins will hit the bottom and you will eat it bad.
Additional Info:
It is a pretty narly wave and very shallow. I suggest you only surf it if you are experienced because it sucks dry and is quite sharp.
