Where was I now… aagh, yes that’s it, Scar reef and Super sucks!

Twelve hours after cruising from Desert, we finally caught our first glimpse of Scar… nothing special.
The swell was coming in all wonky and the tide was totally wrong, but with Super sucks only around the corner, the decision was made and an hour later we were there.
Unfortunately the surf sucked, so the boys headed into the near by village for a look around and once again walked straight into Eddie Solomon and Andre Botha!
An hour later, Attie and myself decided to go check out Super’s. Hell Botha and the crew were surfing it so how bad could it really be? It might only have been two foot, but you soon learn why it’s named SUPER suck and not just Suck or something! With the reef just centimeters below you and a shelf where the water drains off to cause a …below sea level barrel type thing, it’s not surprising the injuries people would, could and have sustain here. Still put that all aside for a minute and you’ll soon be getting the longest barrels of your life that just go on and on and on, sick!

So what do you do when Yo-Yo’s has howling on shore and Super Suck is barley breaking?… make sure you have a few guys onboard who happen to know where the semi-secret Doughnutz is!
Cause on the right tide, ( which I’m not telling you either) this little wave fires! It can handle some size and you might have seen it on a DVD, but that’s about all the information you getting out of me!

After six nights and seven amazing days our journey had come to an end. So a few good bye’s and sad faces we crammed into a little taxi and headed back for Dreamland to find our next adventure!
And only a few days later you will not believe the adventure that found us …lets just say …its like your wildest dream come true……………….
