general information

A truly awesome rivermouth break when its performing at its best, the banked up sand creates a perfect platform for a symmetrical A-frame peak that peels left and right with speed and power and forms a hollow barrel. The bad news is pollution from the river can be awful and the locals can give you a bit of attitude too, probably due to the crowds.
