There's a rock underwater here where my two best childhood friends and I grew up bodyboarding. It gets really shallow - sometimes just a few inches deep, but it's awesome for bodyboarders because it's too steep for surfers to take off and they'd rip their skegs off on the reef if they tried.
On some days when it gets big there's an outside reef that breaks and it looks a little like a mini shark island. A fat lip, shallow reef and unbelievable drop on the takeoff.
The beach break (300 ft north-east on the map) gets interesting in the winter. One winter the banks went into this weird shallow configuration after a really bad winter storm and we had this unbelievable shorebreak all spring. My friend Marco proved to us that spring that he was completely insane by doing rolls in the pit of these massive bone crunching shorebreaks by just flipping his board on the spot. He didn't even need a lip - just flipped it right there in the trough.
