papa chins
Edit SpotAbout
surf with others gives you a better chance at not getting eaten!!! no one has ever surfed here, would love to see some potential out there
Atmosphere:
very isolated, scary, sharky and dangerous. not for the less experienced. long reef is known for its numerous shark sightings so take caution.
Additional Info:
never go out alone or your carcass will float up on the reef. have a look under you to make sure your on the reef before you have your ass wipped by a set. park your car anywhere in long reef. drop your jetski at the cove parallel to the golf course. has a boat ramp
