Crackneck
Edit SpotAbout
Crackneck Point has been its name as long as I can remember (1960's). It wasn't surfed until the 1970's, and more so after the advent of bodyboards. Crackneck Point is a left-hander. Those photos of the right-handers are about 50 metres south of Crackneck Point. Avoid walking down the track for environmental and tick reasons. Walk around from Bateau Bay instead. Even better, save time and get some waves at Bateau or Shelley instead.
