general information

Looking for something a little of centre....square on the bleeding edge! Have a look at Basanquet Bommie. 300 kilometres off he South Australian Coast in white pointer territory. This reef has only been surfed a handful of times and with good reason. The treck out here is a major undertaking. The wave itself a massive right hand barrel that won't always let you out. Tow in crews need only apply
