Description
Walk 'down' to the beach and turn left and you will see a 100yards or so of brocken cliff faces from 20-30ft with a bowl on the end....Launching is a little tricky, but if it's 16+, pick a face you like and back up into it and try a running step up launch from the beach into the lift ban, it's a little strange but works quite well in the right conditions(need a low gradient). If you can't get that you will need fairly good kiting skills to find a rock line to kite up.....
