haha nah thats not me casp... id be racing that on the knee for sure or at least try haha!! :D i was browsing around the old hollowpits site the other day and saw them on the image archive..those photos definatly do it justice and im sure it can hold alot bigger than that..the womb is a pretty hectic wave and holds pretty big i heard 8ft plus even some of the local dudes i was talking to were even comparing it to banzai pipe on its day..only surfed it small about 3 foot or so, intense racey barrel tho, that can spit you out or meet with the right wave that breaks oppositeway forcing you to bail or get closed on..VERY powerful and shallow .. Margs big wave surfer Damon Eastaugh got injured bad there a few years ago, Tim Fowler nearly drownded there i was told, and i heard a standup lost half his set of teeth there a few months back on a solid day...ill try and dig some photos up

If you get one decent set wave, you'll have a new favourite wave, guaranteed. I've got a total of two decent set waves out there, and it's my favourite wave as a result :lol:

The main problem with box is the inside. It's not always a big deal if you don't make a wave, but you're guaranteed to get absolutely smashed onto the reef by the next few in the set. The few scars I have from bb-ing (not that they're terribly impressive) are from not making it back out in time at Box. Also it's amazing how backless the waves there seem to be... Basically everything about it is on a whole other level to all the other breaks around margs.
