Additional Surfing Infos |
| | park ur car at the airport, take the walk, and surf
It only breaks good here during hurricanes but usually something to ride
The "public" beach is a pounding shorebreak and the airport beach is good
but you need atleast 3 feet for it to break on the sandbar
It is a very racy wave, almost a closeout, but fun cuz it breaks fast and then backsoff
over the trough and then about another 20 yds of surf before the shorebreak
Bring ur longboard and your fastest board
