Day 16, Maycocks

Maycocks

Drove north today in search of waves and it was clear most people were heading to Maycocks. Its quite a scramble down to the beach. Well I say beach, theres a bit of sand visible between the grass bank and the ocean. People were sunbathing on the grass and it's a great view for spectators. Also a great view whilst surfing!! Unspoiled back drop. Well nearly. A small cement factory is on the right hand side lol. You forget that after a few waves ;) 

The waves itself is mainly a long, fast right hander. Though a few lefts crept through and if you had a good eye for it you could pick one off. The hardest part of the whole thing is wading out to the surf! The coral is like a bed of knives, then theres volcanic rock. You have to wait for one the of the larger waves to wash over and jump in as it sweeps back out. All the while keeping your eyes peeled for rocks and Spiky coral. My feet are bleeding slightly as I type. 






 Good effort. 



I had a go at knee boarding.






 Spiky coral!!!
