Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Ahhh, Garden City, a popular yet sloppy break. A lot of very good locals here, plus your average old fat longboard crew. This place can get mad crazy on a good swell, so respect 'em and they'll respect you!
The Garden City Pier is pretty laid back. Just don't be a kook and Cut someone off. There are a lot of talented surfers here. |
| |
General |
It's an OK spot, in fact it's the best on the Grand Strand, but it lacks the ability to get swell as easy as close breaks like Folly and Pawleys Is.
It's a fun wave when there is swell. It's best to drive up to Carolina Beach or down to Folly. But if your stuck here. You will have fun surfing it. |

Garden City Pier, United States of America

Just another small day in Garden City, but still a fun day. The reason for the added session is because i got a new board today. Its an Al Merrick, Sashimi, 6'2. I wanted something faster than my 6'6. This definately is!
