Heading towards Peterhead from the south (Aberdeen road) turn off at the village of Boddam just a few miles from Peterhead. Drive towards the harbour and turn left to park in the car park of the fish processing factory. Walk towards the power station along the coastal path. Insanities is the left hander breaking just before you round the corner to the cooling water outlet.
Insanities is without question the heaviest wave that gets surfed on the north east coast. It always looks smaller than it is and the rocks and rip make it a nightmare getting out of the water without getting smashed. That said when it is on the wave sucks out with a barrel that is wider than it is high. Look across at the wave from the channel and you'll see it suck SO much water off the reef that it goes below sea level. The drops are pretty difficult and you do not want to fall off at the peak. If you survive the drop the tube potential is pretty high.
