"The double-edged sword about sand points is that they change," said Outer Banks-based sand aficionado Brett Barley in the clip above. “[They] can be really bad for a number of years and then get really good. Because of that, people will always be searching and new waves will keep popping up, or be reimagined."
The sentiment perfectly sums up the gamble taken in the latest episode of Maps to Nowhere, Surfline and O’Neill’s ongoing series that aims to put the O’Neill team into empty perfection. There was a swell and there was a point — that much we knew — but would the sand be right?
Along with Brett, Soli Bailey, Ian Crane and Sarah Baum ventured halfway across the world to find what Soli called, "the best left point I've ever seen."
