general information

This wave has gotta be one of the best on Australias West Coast and an icon in Australian surfing, it's well in the ranks with Bells and the Superbank - but this is a left! Hurray for the goofies!! It's a serious left hander that starts with a steep drop into a bowling section followed by a tube race down the long line towards the channel. It'll hold up to double over head and needs a very clean south west to west swell with some grunt to be at it's best, combined with southeasterly winds. It's a long drive to get here but it's worth every minute, dollar and pothole. Experienced surfers only and it is sharky.
