Paranoia
Edit SpotAbout
It's not called Paranoia for nothing! There are two reefs out there ... the first one will let you think that it is already about to break, and then it breaks on the inside reef.
Additional Info:
Park your car in the are of the small bridge. It's got a huge face to ride and can hold quite a bit of swell.

Drive from Gordon's Bay to Koeelbay. It is the spot at the end of the beach where the river flows out into the sea. You'll pass over a small bridge... that's where the spot is.
