Rush Reef
Edit SpotAbout
This little Island is one of the easiest and best surf trips off the Florida Coast.
Atmosphere:
Not crowded and no localism. Just don't act like an idiot when you're in the water.
Additional Info:
This wave goes off and rarely is surfed. There are a few people that work in the restaurants that surf, but it's mainly visitors. When there's a swell, it is better than Garbonzo(considered the premier spot).

The spot breaks in Elbow Cay in the Abacos. It sits directly in front of the Elbow Cay Restaraunt, but
it has a very long paddle(i.e, noodle arms).
