general information

AKA 'The Wedge' First of all you cannot get to this break overland as it is in a sanctuary for wildlife so you'll have to paddle here acoss the inlet from the harbor at Ocean City and dodge boats and battle currents on your way - but it's whorth it! There're long punchy rides on offer in the form of a wedgey lefthand takeoff followed by a walling ride. It's pretty consistent and rarely crowded due to its difficuly access.
