Shipstern « Tasmania - Hobart

Awesome, mutant wave that comes in from deep water peaks outside and then goes berserk on the inside. Can be ledgey and unpredictable as well as super-heavy

Originally known as Devil’s Point, Shipstern’s gets its name from the 200ft high rocky outcrop that resembles a fossilized sinking Titanic.

Besides the wave itself other dangers include some of the biggest great white sharks on the planet
