regular caribbean lefthander
Atmosphere:
surf here on your way to anywhere in the Cairrbbean. Guadeloupe,Barbados or the british virgin island. not a major spot, just a nice second choice
Additional Info:
"Razors" was named by writer/photographer/surfer Michael Drentea in 1997 while visiting family(Uncle is Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalve)
I surfed it at least 50 days from Jan-May while in med school on St. Vincent in 2002. Very consistent, occasionally hollow, and can get dangerous, unforgiving bottom, slanted rock sheet on the takeoff, and staghorn coral on the inside. rode days just above waist high, to 3-4 feet overhead and racing power. Actually, there's an old ship cannon stuck in the reef, underneath the takeoff point. look hard, covered in coral. In 4 months, only one other surfer ever came out, off a boat one day. Unbelievable that such a great wave goes unridden all this time.

You can travel by boat or car down to the sunsail marina at the Blue Lagoon, and then 10 min paddling to the break. or you can paddle out from the abandoned hotel on the point and out the harbor entrance and around the reef.
