Boulders Surf Guide
Pointbreaks are somewhat rare in this part of the world, but Boulders is one of them, and it's a dandy. A well-shaped, long and very powerful left-hander that can handle any swell the ocean dishes up, it can present some very hollow sections. Rippable when small, but always a challenge, it has a beautiful lush backdrop.
