Discription of surf spot: Pistons, Haiti
Pistons is located in the Bay of Jacmel. This bay is extreemly deep. Thus good wave form easily here when ever there is swell. Morning offshores are the norm so do afternoons get good when wind switches back. What gives the wave its shape is both the river mouth and a boat that was beached about 80 years ago. Its engine stick out of the water thus giving the name
