Ning Nong

Whats it like?
Newly discovered and recently windsurfed break. Awesome left and right split peak break popular with surfers. Both the right and the left are perfect for wavesailing, breaking fast and large along a boulder bottom only about 10-15 metres from the beach. The trick with getting this spot on is timing. The break is best with a solid south swell and a Southerly or recently switched increasing Northerly wind , so it doesn't get too chopped up. Nice chunky wave with lots of aerial opportunities. Definately worth doing the home work to score when its on.

Who does it suit?
Experienced.

What are the best conditions?
Unlike most the other breaks this break works best in a N to NNW. The N being crossoff on the righthanded. The lefthander also works really well in S and SSE winds

How do I get there?
About 5 min drive further south of dumps, easily identified as it has a convienient long drop hut on the point.

What should I look out for?
Rocks around your fins and curious seals
