Rincon
Edit SpotAbout
ITS A BLAST DURING WINTER!!!
Atmosphere:
localized???!!! no way. sure it gets really crowded and competitive (yes, somebody might drop in on you) but that's not same as "locals" who smash your car window, or maybe smash your face. Very mild localism here. No problem at all when the lineup is light crowd. But this is rare, for any famous point break like Rincon and Malibu.
Additional Info:
DUH!
Rincon is the best during winter season..THE BEST, for Summer its good fo beginers-but paddle further out and it gets more fun!Just park your car away from everyone! I'm no telling you how to surf....YOU SHOULD KNOW=P
