Point Breaks
A "Point Break" is a type of surfing location where waves break over a rocky point or headland. These spots are often characterized by consistent and powerful waves, making them popular among surfers. The shape of the coastline helps to create long, rideable waves that can be enjoyed by surfers of various skill levels.
In addition to surfing, point breaks can also attract other water sports enthusiasts, such as bodyboarders and kite surfers. Famous point breaks include Teahupo'o in Tahiti and Malibu in California. These locations are often sought after for their scenic beauty and challenging surf conditions.
