Additional Information
It catches nearly every swell coming through the Atlantic. North, East, South. There is hundreds of breaks throughout this island. No crowds at all (usually not a soul in site). Make sure you are well equipped. There are no surf shops. This has to be the on of the best undiscovered areas in the North atlantic. No one around for miles with waves that will consistently blow your mind. You will need a boat. But thats easy, get to the island go the marina and charter one from a fisherman. There is Plenty! Experience is a must!
