Crash Boat is a sheltered beach break in Aguadilla where sunken Navy dock pilings have created a sandbar that produces fun right-handers — considered the best sand-bottom break in Puerto Rico when it's working. The protected cove doesn't turn on often, but on W and NW swells it can produce extended overhead rides. Named for the military rescue boats that once launched from its pier at Ramey Air Force Base. Gas Chambers, the heavy expert-only reef break, is just around the corner.
