Anyone remember Total Recall? Maybe Doug Quaid stumbled upon this lineup.

This is outside chicama. the actual wave people ride is to the right. definitely needs a big south swell, and the inside section is the best. Peruvian coastline is barren as hell, but has long waves!

On most days, the wave is mushy and favoring to longboards. But on the right tide it is always fun. Go to the next point down for a faster barreling wave

Its easy to get to,drive or get the bus to porto malabrigo,once in the town you cant miss the point,there are a bunch of places to stay but try and get a room in" el hombre,",its got the best view of the point.costs about 15 soles a night,5 dollars.great food too.

Those occupations sound promising, and could lead to lots of free time if they result in a stint in some grimy prison cell in Dirtbagistan. Meanwhile my old body is encased in mondo thick rubber, hoping for good winter surf when the sum of the air and water temps exceeds 64F (which, since this is two F temps, works out to 0C). Did I mention the rubber is thick?

Sadly, I don't get enough travel time to find out. I often wonder where the money comes from to those that do travel frequently to far off spots like this. I mean, if they have the time to travel ... what job pays well enough and offers all that free time? I need that job.

haha, no harm intended, but while it may seem unlikely, it is not so unlikely. surfers are like flies to a pustulent wound. was there for winter last year. german funboarders, welsh goat-boaters, always the odd stray aussie, and many many new hotels overlooking the point. peru's crowded. internets aint helping.

Exactly.What has happened to the search and find ethos in this age of internet overload.Should be part of the surf trip.Don't tell the lazy bastards.One,it increases overcrowding,& two,get a map and start looking.More likely to find uncrowded surf that way also.

Wouldn't have asked if there was a snowball's chance in hell that this remote desert locale could ever get crowded ... and if it could, then we are doomed. Doom doom doom.

Muchas gracias. I've never traveled with boards before, but I'd bet that's a must. Cheers.

It's got to be nightmarishly difficult to get to. If anyone knows, please share.
