Yeah just paddle out mate, there's no sharks in West Oz. You'll be right, go for it

I've seen guys paddle out to reefs there. Took em a good 30-40 minutes.

Way too far for me I paddle through open water

Same Mocha, used to do it a lot when I was young, dumb and fulla.....
fitness.
Mind you the waves were empty then too. Hole is a hole now and a well populated one at that.

looks to be pretty good waves compared to the back beach, Guess it would be wise to invest in a tinny do a bita fishing on the way in for some free dinner!

Anyone know the situation on the access to the wedge from lancelin? heard many different reports as to it being shut now the road is there and the beach being un passable in winter?
