Folly Beach
The Washout, on the east coast of Folly Beach in South Carolina, is mainly known as a surf spot frequented by locals and visiting riders. It is an area open to the Atlantic, with a wide beach and easy access from the eastern end of the island.
The name is well established locally to designate this beach break area, rather than a unique specific point. The atmosphere remains quite straightforward and functional for kiting, with a typical Charleston coast setting and a practice that heavily depends on swell and tide.
