Cultural stories speak of the close connection between Aboriginal people and dolphins especially when it comes to dolphins herding fish and making them easier to net. Here surfing the waves is another special activity shared by both human and marine mammals. From this vantage point you can look out and compare surfing styles as the dolphins, surfers and the occasional whale drop in on each other to catch waves. This break has been described as the ‘perfect wave’ by many surfers including local Aboriginal community members.
