About Rum Point

Rum Point caters to intermediate riders seeking a balance between sheltered access and more interesting riding. The mangrove-sheltered launch area provides natural protection for water entry, while flat to moderate chop conditions give intermediate riders enough texture for engaging sessions. The protected approach is particularly useful in stronger wind, and the lagoon geography offers a forgiving learning curve for those progressing beyond beginner conditions.
