If you’ve been to the North Shore, it’s very likely you’ve surfed Rocky Point. If you’re a surfer who has been to the North Shore and hasn’t surfed Rocky Point… well, you’re blowing it. It’s a fantastic wave. A little more user-friendly than, say, Pipeline. A lot more user-friendly than giant Waimea. It’s an incredibly fun wave to surf, with Rocky Rights and Rocky Lefts peeling away over a perfect chunk of reef. It’s often filled with the best surfers in the world, since many of them live on the North Shore. Surfers like Koa Rothman, who has surfed Rocky Point a LOT.
Since he’s surfed it so much, he’s seen it in all of its many moods. Good, bad, and everything in between. And now, since winter is well and truly here on the North Shore, Rocky Point is revving its engines again. Koa called this “the best Rocky Point ever,” which could be considered a bit hyperbolic, but either way, it’s Rocky Point at its very best.
Before all that surfing, however, Koa answers a question that he’s likely been asked a lot: what’s the difference between a regular surfboard and an epoxy one?
