Liberia. Atlantic left points at Robertsport. The fantastic left points in Liberia were first brought to the attention of the surfing world by Kevin Naughton and Craig Peterson, who visited in the mid-1970's and published a great West Africa travel feature in SURFER Magazine. After 20 years of devastating civil war which brought the country to its knees, Liberia has recently achieved a degree of political stability and the Robertsport area is seeing a revival of both surfing and civil society. Local surfers like Alfred Lomax welcome visiting surfers to the points and are able to make a living from visitor accommodation, food and drink, board rentals and other services.
