Crash Boat Spot Guide

About Crash Boat

Yet another super-fickle-yet-magical wave, Crash Boat is a happy accident, as they say: a sand-bottomed right created by rusting navy docks that halfway sank into the sand and ended up creating a killer bank. The wave comes in from pretty deep water and bends in and rolls all the way into shore.
