About Ricketts Point

Ricketts Point sits as an intermediate-focused reef and rock launch zone with slightly choppy bay conditions. The point geography creates wind shaping effects useful for riders developing edge pressure and directional control. The technical launch demands basic skill and care with equipment placement. Slightly messier water teaches reading chop and maintaining board control. The location sits within a protected marine area, reinforcing responsible session behavior. Cool water and exposure mean checking forecasts and arriving prepared. Local kiters respect the location's character and shared launch protocols.
