surf spot
Rider's chosen beach
A surf spot is a location known for surfable waves, whether a beach break, reef break, or point break.
Surfers speak of spots with particular reverence, cataloging their characteristics—wave size, consistency, crowd levels, hazards: Mavericks is one of the most dangerous surf spots in the world.
Some spots are closely guarded secrets; others draw international crowds.
