Oh J-Bay, how magnificent you are. The perfect right. Fast, steep, and a barrel section if you’re lucky. A nice top turn here is like taking a sledgehammer to mother’s favorite vase. Throwing an air reverse isn’t illegal, but it’s frowned upon.

The sets roll in untouched, but usually get dismantled by guys like Karl Steen. Aside from the massive sharks and cold water, J-Bay is a regular foot’s dream wave. A training ground to dial in your rail game.
