Slabberts
Edit SpotAbout
kiff
(Ted - The best thing about this spot is that it's not crowded when good, because there are other places close by that break better)
Atmosphere:
Gets long and hollow
(Ted - CAN get hollow, but not usually. The rides can be long, but often the set waves close out, and then flatten out, before you can link to the inside, similar to Corners, just to Slabbert's right)
Additional Info:
Good wave, dont drop in on locals.
(Ted - don't drop in on anyone!)
