Saber Reef
Edit SpotAbout
I would never dream of surfing this spot and its only cause my bulk rich dad owns a helicopter and a boat that I've seen it!!
Atmosphere:
there is no atmosphere here because of the absolute lack of people, you should really only be feeling fear of getting hit on rocks.
Additional Info:
Quite hollow with a really heavy lip, absolutely un-surfable by a stand ups, bodyboarders only. can get really fast but rim of bowl excellent for airs.
Dont surf this unless your amazingly good or crazy!!
