Surfr Seeds' Point Break Description

Point Break is a hybrid cannabis strain that isn't exactly making massive waves. However, don't let that fool you into thinking it isn't worth your time—those lucky enough to get their hands on this variety swear by its bold aromas, delicious flavors, and well-balanced stone. Keep reading to learn all there is to know about Point Break weed.

History of the Point Break Cannabis Strain

Point Break is currently on offer from two breeders/geneticists—Surfr Seeds and Karma Genetics. However, each breeder sells their own distinct version with a unique genetic lineage (see below). That said, the creation of Point Break is generally attributed to Surfr Seeds. Unfortunately, Surfr Seeds is a very low-profile breeder with no social media presence and a very bare-bones website. Rumor has it that the breeder behind Surfr Seeds is the brother of Capulator, a very well-known US cannabis breeder. These rumors haven't been confirmed or denied by anyone at Surfr Seeds.

Genetic Lineage of Point Break

Point Break by Surfr Seeds is a hybrid strain stemming from Tropicanna Cookies and Trophy Wife. Below we'll take a look at both of these strains and their traits.

Tropicanna Cookies is a beloved hybrid bred from the almighty GSC and Tangie. Boasting a bold scent of upfront mandarin sweetness layered atop subtle hints of earth and mint, Tropicanna Cookies brings together aromatic elements from both of its parent strains. Its effects are similarly well-balanced, mellowing the high-energy buzz of Tangie with the grounding relaxation of GSC. The result? A great all-rounder ideal for experienced smokers looking for a strain to enjoy at parties or while unwinding at home.

On the other hand, Trophy Wife (Point Break's second parent) is a much more mysterious variety, and there are a lot of different theories about its origins and genetics. Most sources point to Trophy Wife descending from The Wife x Cherry Wine, while others point to lineages such as Triangle Mints x Triangle Mints and Dosidos x Mendo Breath, among others. Many sources suggest that Trophy Wife is rich in CBD, making it an attractive smoke for people looking to use cannabis during the day without feeling too inhibited. Said to be rich in limonene, pinene, and caryophyllene, Trophy Wife boasts a floral aroma with hints of sweetness and black pepper.

Note: Dutch seed bank Karma Genetics also produces Point Break seeds. These seeds stem from a cross of a fake Shoreline cut and SFV OG Kush, resulting in vigorous plants with a skunky aroma and sweet floral undertones.

Physical Characteristics of Point Break

Point Break is a hardy and bushy plant. Pop these seeds and you'll soon be growing healthy, stocky plants with minimal effort. As they veg, Point Break plants produce deep green, broad-fingered leaves and a strong main stem that lends itself well to training (see Cultivation and Production of Point Break below). Once in bloom, Point Break plants may stretch slightly before focusing their energy on the development of long, thin, and frosty flowers.

While the color of this strain can be influenced by several factors in your grow room or garden, Point Break buds typically retain a deep green hue all the way to harvest day. Under their thick coating of trichomes, however, Point Break flowers can shine with a steel-blue hue that's very unique.

Properties and Effects of Point Break

Point Break definitely has bag appeal. And its aromas, flavors, and effects are no disappointment either. This strain regularly produces between 22–25% THC, though some batches may test even higher. Reports from users and dispensaries suggest that Point Break is particularly rich in caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool, which combine to produce its mouth-watering aroma.

Pop the lid off a jar of well-cured Point Break buds and you'll be greeted by a fresh aroma of sour, zesty citrus. Stick your nose inside the jar or break the buds apart in a grinder and you may pick up on Point Break's more subtle floral undertones and spicy backend, but only if you have a well-trained nose. Light her up and inhale, and Point Break's rich smoke or vapor will seduce your palate with bold notes of orange and grapefruit. Exhale, however, and you'll pick up on hints of black pepper, fresh lavender, and musky woods (such as sandalwood or cedar).

Given her rich concentration of terpenes and high THC level, Point Break is capable of delivering a strong yet well-balanced stone. Whether you enjoy her on a walk, while watching a movie, or while engaging in some kind of creative activity, Point Break will almost immediately elevate your interest in whatever you're doing.

While this strain won't leave you buzzing with energy, she'll definitely keep you focused and attentive, especially when doing something entertaining (such as watching movies or gaming). If you're able to draw some attention to your body as you enjoy her uplifted daze, you'll likely notice a decrease in any discomfort you may have been experiencing before sparking up.

Finally, as her effects plateau, Point Break will lay you down into a sleepy, smiley, and hungry state—so get ready to indulge in a hearty meal and then retire to bed.

Cultivation and Production of Point Break

Point Break seeds are available directly from Surfr Seeds’ online store. Unfortunately, the breeder shares no information about its growth traits. Moreover, few growers have shared their experience growing Surfr's Point Break at home.

Based on the few available pictures of this strain, Point Break seems to grow vigorously, producing strong plants with a mix of both indica and sativa traits. The plants appear to respond well to training and perform particularly well under screens and trellises. We suspect that Point Break may also grow well outdoors, though few growers have shared their experiences doing so. We do not know how long Point Break takes to flower or its average yield.

Point Break — An Uplifting, Positive Strain With Fruity Aromas

Point Break is a hybrid strain created by Surfr Seeds from a mix of Tropicanna Cookies and Trophy Wife genetics, though Karma Genetics also produces Point Break seeds from a different lineage. Packing high concentrations of THC and exotic terpenes, Point Break boasts a zesty citrus aroma and similar citrus-forward flavors. Its effects are enchanting and positive, making Point Break a great smoke for relaxing sessions. Medical cannabis patients also report using this strain to address a variety of mental and physical ailments.
