general information

A fair paddle out to sea over a deep water channel gets you to Massacres where you await death... I mean ....this thick monster to lurch out of deep water onto the rock shelf with an elevator like take off. This'll drop you down into a bowling section over a shallow reef that'll then spit you out in the direction of the rugged coastline, congratulations you didn't die!! It'll hold pretty much anything the Southern Ocean can throw at it but it's best and most rideable around 3 metres or 10ft. Now off you go and have fun!
