The only drawback is the landings - a minimum of two mats will be required unless you are extremely brave!
the grades are also soft, one of the 7c's feels more like 7a (the pea),
As a local I think there are much better places down this way, but not publicised (yet)
body surf or body boarding. you only need ot be able to swim.
whatever you do, lay on the thing and swin out a bit in the hope of picking up a wave further out...
