North west cape(I think that is what it is called. I remember watching a vid about 10 years ago, with Tom Caroll getting freaking huge barrels at a about 10 foot. Can't remember the name of the movie.)
I have got some good waves at crabs but they were rights
-
I would say that it is world class. I am trying to think of waves near the ones you have suggested.
I don't surf in town at all any more. I live near redhead , so that is where i spend all of my time. I drive down onto the beach in my 4wd and sometimes get uncrowded waves like you probably do down northern or on morna.
Where is your next left goofy.

The box. Not the box beach we know mantas

Al, I know of someone from another forum that bought a board of this company 5 weeks ago and still has not received it. He contacted his CC company and explained the circumstances then got his money refunded. Worth a try if nothing comes in the next couple of weeks

You are not the only one Al. Plenty of complaints here

Had 4 pulled out 2 weeks ago in hospital. I agree with everything you said spook. Mine are only just coming good now

Mate, I am a proud to be known as an Aussie. I have traveled most of the world and know that Australians do live in the lucky country. Every country from Japan to Hong Kong, Great Britain and the Americas have people that carry on like wankers when they have had a few too many. You just have to expect that shit from time to time. Hope all the Aussies in Japan had a great day and behave like visitors to their own homes.

I have been told that same story as well, but it is BS. That story is told so great flocks of people don't try to take it on. Once the water clears up and there is no swell, check the bottom out with a pair of polarised glasses on. You can see that the area where the wave breaks is just small piece of flat reef, like at flat rock.
I have surfed it probably 6 times. I use to ride a lid out there as a kid and it was great. Surfing it is a different story. You have to commit yourself to the take off or else you will go over the falls or end up on the breakwall if you try to pull back. I had a brand new 6'8 rounded pin and took it out there when it was about 2 weeks old. I didn't make the drop on one wave and my leggie was ripped off my ankle, sending the board onto the first row of rocks on the breakwall. I had to dog paddle over all the shallow rocks you can see in the above wide photo to try and get my board off the rocks that were getting pounded by the 4-5ftwaves. After getting my board and scrapping the shit out of my legs, I paddled into the channel to see that my 6'8 was now a 6'4 square tail twin fin with about 10 deep dings.
It is an intimidating place but if you like an adrenaline rush, its the place to be when there is a 10ft S swell or a 5-6 NE with a southerly wind blowing. Also it is easy to get into the water but very tricky to get out, when a decent swell is moving along the wall. On three occasions I have had to paddle all the way to horseshoe beach to get out of the water -

Could probably say the same thing about you Drop Inn.
I know the guy TJ is talking about too. He does not post on here. He does not have any affiliation to any of the shops mentioned. He just likes to shop and help others out. Fattwins knows him and has already posted his name in this thread

I started searching sj, for resorts over 2000m but there are just to many to search. I found one in Gunma prefecture, can anyone name any others. Thanks
