Legendary surfing spot in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. This is a spot that is more suitable for intermediate wave kiters. The launch is easy when getting out only the shore-break has to be overcome. Watch out for shallow spots when in the break and don't ride downwind into the bay to far as the wind becomes offshore there. Be aware that there is no rescue. Watch out for surfers.
