Pikers Hole ’89

On my first time to Pikers Hole in ’89 the wave looked unrideable not to mention how the hell do you get back in safely over those rocks without getting hammered.I watched a few barrels but with no one out it was hard to gauge the size . We eventually bailed back to the familiarity of Shark Island relieved Wazza couldn’t talk me into swimming out there to snap a few pics.  It definitely lived up to its name and remained a secret for probably 10 or more years. I’m kind of happy I didn’t photograph it and expose it at the time as it has become a circus now. Times change but for those few who surfed it like Wazza  and Steve Austin back then and Hags crew before them  they had it for a long time to themselves.
