.'
'Rock' or 'Funky sex machine' depending on the local dialect.
If we get a choice I'm going with the latter.
"Just had a session at the funky sex machine, bitch."
Looks tasty, but I bet the rocks feel awfully close when you're paddling for one.
It's not just the rocks on shore but a random ledge about half way down the point that makes the wave hairy. It looks like this swell was big enough to break outside of it but when smaller you've got to keep one eye on it.
I'm not 100% but I think the translation is "bitch Rock"
Good shit. And good surfing.
