The Point (isle of man)
Edit SpotAbout
This is the best wave on the island on its day..
Atmosphere:
The place is amazing on it day, stand up tubes have been had (rare tho). there has been time when iv been out there alone with 3-4 ft glassy swell coming in and had the best session's of my life. But the swell can as easly appear as disappear so you have to be on it. There is a bit od localism around but those people are few and far between. Most locals are friendly.
Additional Info:
easy acces out just jump of the rocks and paddle round, its quite a tight take of, on a crowded day its how deep can you take of. the wave doesnt like to much wind. watch for the rip some times you cant even get near the take of zone the rip is so bad.
