Why Surf Pitstop?

  • Easy Take-Off: Pitstop features a mellow entry, making it perfect for those new to reef breaks or anyone seeking a relaxed start to their session.

Surfing Tips for Pitstop

  • Watch the Swell: While Pitstop is consistent, the wave shape and length improve as the swell reaches the 3–5 foot range.
