36th street
Edit SpotAbout
It is a fun med. to small left hander and it has some hollow sections. Its really good for off the lips because it is not to fast and it is not to slow.
Atmosphere:
This spot is cool to surf my friend lives right on the penn. and I have seen many big names out, like the pres. of Hurrly and the Irons bros. Everybody out there is cool with everyone else. It is fun.
Additional Info:
Fun break to surf if its walled out on the lower streets. Spongers are present but they're not too big of a problem. Watch out for crowds and blackball in the summer
