Needle dicks?You can have it.. - I surfed this faggot wave a few weeks back as good as it gets(thats what the locals called). What a lame, gay wave. If your into lidders (with needle dicks) that like to bum each other in the dunes then your welcome to it. Pretty much a try hard reef...A beachie with a rock in it that makes the wave close out. I'm sticking to D'bah and Snapper next time. Not worth the drive.
