I heard of this place with a perfect point break
all my friends say its a trip you got to make.
Only problem is it's eight miles from the road
and you got to walk the beach carring your load.
So I get it in my head I 'm going to make the trip
cause when I see these peeling waves
I know my mind will flip.
Loading up the pack with a board and all my stuff
it weighs fifty pounds oh I hope I got enough.
Trudging down the beach in the midday sun
I don't know how I thought this would be much fun.
Spend all day hiking and sweating through my hat
till I make it to the place that they all call The Flat.
Standing on the grassy knoll and looking down the way
its got a tripple point and sparkling double bay.
Camping on the beach watching waves roll in so clean
having to remind myself this place is not a dream.
Shared the surf with a happy soulful crew
had a lot of fun and made some new friends too.
Enjoying several days of surfing and watching waves roll in
I came to the reality
I have to hike back home again.
So after hiking all that way and getting parched in the troat
next time I go to surf The Flat
I'll make my way by boat.
