Only tow-ins are possible there, due to a very shifty peak. Again not me, but my first wave there was about this size ..

Nice! Collector items, for sure.
Back in the 80's the pro surfing tour had an event here and I opened up my home for some of the tour folks to stay including the head of competition - an Aussie named Al Hunt, aka Fatty Al. Al had one of the largest, if not the largest, collection of surf mags in the world. He had an eBay handle something like "surfmags", IIRC.
He had a business back in Oz that re-furbished parking lots. I still have his business card. That's when I learned they were called Car Parks in Aussie lingo.
Here's the flyer on the event here. It consisted of three contests. One here, one in Jacksonville, and one in either Cocoa Beach or Sebastian Inlet - I can't remember. The person who did the best out of all three won a new Nissan truck.
