general information

This spot rates a high difficulty rating not for the danger of the wave, as it happens to be a fun peak to surf, but more for the isolation, extreme cold and the currents. It's a challenge for these factors alone, but bring some friends and all the rubber you can get your hands on and you'll have some extreme surfing notches on your travel belt.
