general information

One of the true blue ribbon body boarding spots on the planet and home break to some of the best riders in Australia. The island has been riden in the past with varying levels of success by shortboarders, tyhe occasional suicidal longboarder that just broke up with his girlfriend and tow in nutters various.

Shark Island is not difficult to reach from the shore which ads to the mirth factor as unexperienced riders are easily able to paddle into what is effectively 12 foot surf without getting their hair wet. Mirth and mayhem are the order of the day however as said riders are ruthlessly dissected on the cungie encrusted reef.

Be wary of this spot on anything less than a mid to rising tide. A bomb set on a falling tide may seem appealing on takeoff but is likely to result in some form of insta death scenario. If you end up on one such wave, keep a very high line. If you wipe, keep your hands in front of your face; the reef, she be not far away me hearty!
