North Point
Surf Guide
You've probably seen pics of this place. It's one of the most photogenic in the region. Popularised when the CT moved the Margs comp here on a firing day. There are two sections: the outside pit, which looks reasonably makeable from the take-off, then the shallow inside section. Making both takes a lot of skill. Don't want to risk it? Join the crowds on the point and enjoy the action.
