It's all subjective/experience/etc.
Blacks is my home break (even though I'm in OC), surfed there more than anywhere over the last 35 plus years, and have spent time/hard earned money on traveling/staying in many other spots around the globe. Blacks holds size, but if you truly charge/like heavy water/put in time in challenging/irresponsible conditions/enjoy the craft of entries, and have knife game then you know the entries at Blacks are not extra technical and are super fun at maxing size, yes bigger boards are nice to navigate/current/paddle/etc but you can enter on smaller shapes depending on comfort level. In 2016 (El Nino) Blacks had over 30 days easy of dub to trip plus, water up to the cliffs, paved road at the bottom non existent, we traversed down the rocks on the south end and jumped in for months, and got out the same way...Blacks is my baby man and I love her and have professed that many times everywhere...but she's not going to kill you, not going to scare you like an outer reef NS or foggy Triple over OB (when you and a few others paddle out and only your dumbass makes it out and has to deal with it), don't get me wrong, you can get tested and worked/potentially drowned, but if you're dedicated, in shape and have sought out for years heavy water experiences (and the constant upkeep of your body), respect the ocean and know it's capabilities/power, then Blacks at maxing size or just SOLID can be so friggin fun (the cliffs, the marine life, the water color, the walk down/up, the swell angles it pulls in to keep you honed year round, the canyon sets, it's the best!!!) But, if you're giving it a go on a solid day and your experience/surfing level is limited it can seem a bit intimidating. It's a great training ground, even cardio wise when you've already surfed or it's flat/garbage conditions, all the trails down/up, such a beautiful place man!
Peace to ALL
