Marshmallow.

In front of the Ticket to Ride Surf House, ‘Marshies’ a staple surf spot for all intermediate surfers and usually the first introduction to surfing a ‘reef’ break. There’s a few different peaks offering slightly different degrees of difficulty and whilst the crowds are heavy you can always get a wave. Lineup Positioning: The main peak is quite obvious so sit here if you want long rights and shorter more powerful lefts, however the middle of the also break offers a peak and there are lefts and some rights found in front of the Insight Hotel. Wave Targeting: Sit and wait for the bomb peaks at the main peak, or sit on the shoulder and get the ones that other surfers fall off of. For a less hectic experience paddle down towards ‘Insights’, just be careful getting out there as there is a reef shelf full of urchins which is sketchy at low tide. Tips & Progression Focus: Taking big drops, turns on the lefts, gaining speed on the rights.

Multiple peaks over reef where crowds guarantee you'll find a wave.
