Sat and watched EPs going
Sat and watched EPs going off many years ago. Too sick for me there.
Closest I got to Shark Island was probably Stanwell Tops, nice break with a killer view looking back up the hill. Maybe Bulli too, is that somewhere around there? Too long ago.

A surfers dream. A great wave and just a few mates to surf it with.

Haven't ridden a lid
for a few years now! Brings back memories......
I liked Shark Isalnd but very heavily populated - only rode there a few times. The "locals" were not the sharing type generally.
But for me, The Box down in Margs is perfection and there are a few secret spots further south that my mate and I used to hit up.
I still have my Mike Stewart 7-7 somewhere in the house.
