I do not know where the name came from but as a guess and from experiences here...this place can terrify you! As far as I am concerned, this is the Grand Father of all breaks in Barbados. On occasions, the waves here can be perfect but just too Big for anyone to paddle out to. I have surfed here many times, but this is the place that stopped me from challenging myself in big waves.
I did not get bombed but I found myself caught way out in the ocean by a freak set which I barely paddled over, knowing fully well that if I was hit by one of those waves, the probability of survival would be extremely low.
Now that is not an exaggeration and I am sure that many surfers have found themselves in that same situation here. As this is the most northerly break (with the exception of North Point) you do not get a warning that something huge is coming and by the time that you do, it is impossible to paddle in, so head for the horizon and pray.
