I once caught 7 waves in one day in “classic mile long Chicama”, 5 in the morning, 2 after lunch. 1 per hour. Only those that know classic Chicama understand what that means.
Yeah you caught all three on your belly on the white wash because it was to big in the morning, to big in the afternoon, and to big in the evening, so basically you paddled out each time and each time you caught the first white wash back in on your belly you kook
@@johnnybird7593 Slater says no biggie, it's his duty and obligation despite the fact that KE11Y is an 11 time WORLD CHAMPION, to continue to remind kooks like you that riding the white wash on your belly does not constitute surfing, and that you have no business trying to to paddle out into the line up on your blue foam board, and wearing a beaver tail wetsuit makes you look worse than a kook, it makes you look like the cartoon character Diver Dan, and it's Mr Slater to beaver tail wetsuit wearing kooks like you, only cool and hip surf cats have the green light to call him Slater, and one more thing, friends don't let friends ride blue foam surfboards
they have 10-15 boats in the water with 10 guys. you can walk easily in 10 mins put they ruin the waves and the vibe. one of the worst places to surf I have ever been to. can't eat anything in town without pooping liquid for days either
@@archstanton_live Yeah and it was well known that there was killer surf all around the Hawaiian Islands a 1000 years ago if you lived there and were a local, it wasn't well known around the world in the 60s speaking of Lima
@@mikehester6890 I remember that when we watched the home movie we were listening to "Hey Joe" from the Johnny Rivers album Realization. Pot could be found in the surfing culture of Lima, but it hadn't made it into our teen circle yet.
over a minute long.. that would be worth it for me, all that work to sirf 10-15 seconds, all the risk, nope this looks relatively safe too, sandy bottom.. let us know ow all that danger worked out when you're 65
It’s a “one and done” wave hahaha imagine trying to swim back to where you started 😅😂🤣 If I live near that place, I would offer a seadoo surfer towing business 😅
I wonder too. A few of us stayed at his (lodge/backpackers)? in Feb/March '89. Had it just like this, bit smaller maybe. You don't paddle back out, just walk back to the point along the beach. Fine days!
@@moocha7572 where at exactly if you don't mind sharing. The only spot I know of is in North New Zealand. I don't wanna give it away to other people so ill just say it has something to do with shipwrecks.
@@saterdee3288 on the days that big enough and conditions are right it can break from indicators through to the bay nearly 2ks long doesn't happen all the time bit can happen. Same with shippies, breaking from peaks into the bay is over 1km. I'm not shitting on that wave it looked fun but most of it was trying to get around sections and no barrels. Could possibly be the longest but there's definitely better waves out there
they have 10-15 boats in the water with 10 guys. you can walk easily in 10 mins put they ruin the waves and the vibe. the boats ruin your ride because of the wake. you can see it in the video. one of the worst places to surf I have ever been to. and I've been to a lot of places. can't eat anything in town without pooping liquid for days either
i've ridden longer than minute waves in point breaks in mexico and dont need a wetsuit. the water in 90 degrees. i wouldnt travel all the way to peru for this and to have to wear a full suit at the same time. no thanks
I'm backside I'm looking for speed floaters a few foam climbs middle section &it slows down vertical snaps tail release Zoom down the line carving lip bashing &.......... OMG.. I'm having the time of my life.. Idk about you IM OUT THERE
Skeleton Bay gives this left a run for it's money and is by far a better wave any day, when you can get barreled 8 to 10 times on the same wave, well there is just no comparison, I'll take Skeleton Bay any day, and I'm a poet and didn't even know it.
For the shittiest waves in the world. You would seriously travel halfway around the World to go to a crumbly mushy four foot wave? And look at all of the videos on this place that you can find. They're all 4 ft and complete mush. They're usually so fucking horrible that you can't even do a turn on them. You're just trying to make a section cuz it's so mushy. I've been there. It sucks. Look at the guy, a full suit with a hoodie. Sign me up!
Yep. Doesn't look like the greatest place to surf, even though it might a perfect way for beginners/intermediate surfers to step up, imo. However, I don't know if the wind can be blowing side-on to side-offshore from time to time over there, but jeez... A kite would be a game changer. You would rip the shit out of every wave, make every section, and peacefully cruise back to the lineup.
@@ApesGarage yes I Surfed Pacasmayo or as they call it El Faro.. same wave.. But different! If that makes any sense. It's the longest wave I've ever surfed two-and-a-half minutes on one wave. And it's on film!. Years ago I hired a taxi to drive me from Huanchaco to Pacasmayo. Then when I got there I looked and I asked the taxi to drive me from the end of the wave at the bay, all the way to the point after I got off the wave - he agreed. I surfed all day by myself with my girlfriend filming and not one other person came to the beach. I had planned it from a previous swell alert and it was 8ft plus solid. 4 to 8 Waves per set for me to choose from all alone.. the paddle-out was through some rocks from the beach and I was in the lineup within about 10 to 15 seconds. It was offshore all day and all afternoon. Same with chicama. As you were inquiring about the wind. Those places are offshore all day. The coastline was scattered with rocks and sand and one Lighthouse and that was it nothing else except fishing Village it was at the end of the Bay. ~ Now if you look at Pacasmayo, There's hotels along the entire thing with infinity pools and all kinds of b*******. Completely f****** packed!!. People are disgusting. I kept it quiet .. I surfed Bali when it was pretty uncrowded in a lot of spots as well and now look at it. That's as far North as I went in Peru, I wish I surfed a lot of other spots that were further North. The water I know is a lot colder it's a lot more Rocky and dangerous but the power is a lot better. And I'm goofy foot. I said I would get there one day but still haven't. We'll see what happens.
@@clem29surf exactly!.. You said it,.. A beginner might have fun here.. But.. If you're a beginner you going to pay for a f****** flight halfway round the world to go to a third world country, hotels, taxis, car rentals, expenses and get food poisoning at one of the shit Shacks they have along this barren Coastline here in cold ass water.. For what??.. The same wave you can surf at San onofre in California.. Or anywhere in Florida!?.. As far as length of ride there's plenty of waves in California they can do the same for you as well that are just as good if not better.... This reputation of Chicama,.. And the length of the ride are total lies and BS. Everyone I talked to about it said the same thing.. "Oh you should see when it's a huge swell when it's like 15 to 20 feet.. Then that's when it's really the longest wave in the world and good.. It breaks all the way up there at the top of the point. See The rock's way up there, that's where it breaks. See around the corner up there that's where it breaks.. Yeah when it's 15 foot and bigger" .... Just as I said, look at every single video from 2021 or 2018 or 2005 or 1995 or 1990,.. Any time ~ any year.. You see the same thing - 4 foot mush and people struggling to stay on it. When I visited there it was 4-6 foot.. Mush and you couldn't stay on a goddamn 6-foot wave if you tried!.. Well if you REALLY tried you could.. But why would you want to if you couldn't barely do a cutback.? So I agree if you're a beginner you might think that you're having fun.. But why leave your home break or just travel the coast a bit from where you live.. There's nothing here at Chicama, for you. Not even culturally. It's not the part of Peru you may want to visit for that either.
