In a desperate attempt to find some surf in Perth without 1 million other guys out. I came across this spot on google earth.

The only thing is there seems to be large Johnies hanging around there.

Do any of the Perth guys ever paddle out to the outer reefs around Hillarys for a surf?

What is your take on the chance of being hit by a Grey Suit on a Sup?

I used to sup surf little island all the time probobly 3 or more times a week.. Paddle out from the dog beach.. Decent paddle but not to bad.. It's a good wave but as has already been said there will be at nearly 20 out on a good day midweek and can be much much more on weekends..

Problem with this wave also is sups and longboards can sit really deep and far out meaning on sets you will have to dodge the whole pack on the way threw and most likely will get burnt by some clown..

I stopped surfing little island because I was nearly in a fight every time I went out, funny enough I never had any problem with the decent surfers always the crabs that have no idea..

Not sure of your skill level but if you are heading out there do the right thing sharing is caring and sups really don't need any more bad names..

Hope this helps..... Belly

The Alkimos would be another but i have surfed there with 35 other guys in the water..

This is the worst one for different types of bities, you dont just get sharks but also get norwest blowies and they are really agressive. A couple of mates were in the water after I got one day, Im sitting in the boat and they start waving their arms about shouting and then paddleing back like madmen. Two big nw blowies were attacking them and one bit my mate on the calf, they have got big teeth.
I havnt surfed out there for years, great wave tho when its on....

No ways are you talking about blow fish? Never knew they would attack. Also unbelievable to think that regardless of sharks and bitting blowfish there is still loads of guys out there on shorties.

Yep we are keen

I'd say forget SUP surfing in Perth. Buy a Downwind board and a carving board and a big stick and get your fix!

I starting SUP 3 years ago and there would be only a handful at leighton or Dutchies. Now there are Mals, SUPs and of course short boarders everywhere. Not a new problem, but one that will get worse.

We have great waves here, but far too few. The short boarders deserve them.

Ahh to have east coast waves with rolling sets and inside/outside options
