been done countless times before, plenty of spots to hit up inclding a wicked one hit smack i call the 'bowl' its like the corner of a vert bowl just keeps on going! try going on a 2-3m swell day and ALL the spots will be working. been done from the point too
done it many times solo without hicups once was racing the sun on xmas eve did it in a record 30minuites

Sounds fantastic! Would love to have done something like that this season. I'll add it to the regrets'I have not managed to do... so far' list.

yeah its a good one..plenty of places to go from...Drummonds to Corro is the shortest, Sunset the medium and point moore to corro for if you want a long one with lots of gnarly waves.
It 4 wheel drive access only along the beach from Drummonds onwards so if it all goes tits up it can be a long walk to get help, So probs best go with someone or take a phone...
And of course the biggest safety issue would be "the spot"...just watch out for all the angery windsurfers!!!

Its 30knotts outside with a big swell..enjoy your perth sore breaks Austin!! hehe Gero's waiting for you mate!!
