Stoked on the content! Curious if you could provide some info on the sweep/current on these days with swell? Would be super useful for people like me who want to travel and get waves but unfortunately work at a desk and don’t surf every day. Thanks, Dan!!

@jaimemanriquez2733 Месяц назад

Hello everyone, If anyone wants to go to Chile sometime, Let me know, I could offer you assistance, pick you up at the airport and take you surfing all over south central Chile. I am an agronomist engineer and have been to the USA to work 4 times. Even you Dan Harmor! Cheers

@melodieharry2319 2 года назад

Waves look so so fun!

@DanHarmon123 2 года назад

Soooo Fun!! Feeezing, but fun haha!

@deanarndell4609 2 года назад

Awesome once again mate! Chile is great, never surfed there though. You scored some nice uncrowded waves. Brasil is another story, there's some great spots there, had about 12 sessions over 2 trips in 2010 & 2015....Try Ilah Grande, Lopes Mendes if you can make it over. I have a couple of contacts those ways if you need, enjoy, yeeooww 🤙🏄🌴🌅

@DanHarmon123 2 года назад

Thanks Dean! Yeah love dit will defo be back in Chile at some stage, and yes I'm in Brazil now and a lot more crowded but not as hectic as I thought it would be! Thanks for the spot recos!!

@davel4708 Год назад

The filming thing is a touchy subject. A lot of locals at semi secret spots will take exception to people filming at their spot. Fair enough I'd say. It's hard when you're filming a travel vlog, but that's just the way things are. You have to see things from their perspective. Their waves are uncrowded partly because they are isolated but also because they are under the radar. With social media this can change overnight. I've seen it happen. Since you're on your own I imagine if you hadn't been filming then the locals would have been pretty friendly. I have been to some notoriously localised spots and been treated very well by the locals after showing respect at the start. Hawaii is a good example of this.

@DanHarmon123 Год назад

Yeah its super interesting and something I struggle with a lot when I travel. A lot of the time I don't film when the waves are good for this reason!! But yeah i totally respect how people don't want their spots blown up so I try and keep names and locations under wraps for lesser known spots. On this particular day, there were three cameras on the beach anyway hahah!!

@SRFTRD Год назад

@@DanHarmon123 Yet you posted the video anyway. So much for respecting locals. Its not your resource to exploit visitor.

@DanHarmon123 Год назад

@@SRFTRD Hey mate! Yes, as I said above, it's a pretty well-known spot; I don't mention any names either, but you can easily find it on Google, and there were three cameras on the beach already that morning...

@@SRFTRD Says the "Weon" Boogie boarder... LOL He never mentioned any spots but anybody can find the spots on Google,

@jasonuenobando4635 Год назад

Awesome mate! I lived in Chile and down the road to south several times. Chile is a truly old school road trip, adventure and open the map to find a spot. I salute you to not mention spot names. Chile still these kind of surf trip that you have to search and find by himself the spots. Truly adventure. Please let’s keep this kind of surf trip alive. Internet generation just want the name of spots and how to get there. Cheer’s mate.

@DanHarmon123 Год назад

Yeah exactly!! Just one to get on the road and just explore! Sick place and can't wait to go back!! I only ever name well known spot that already well on the map, but either ways, there's still a ton of coastline out there to explore!!

@colemansawyer8342 Год назад

What time of year did u go?

@DanHarmon123 Год назад

Hey Coleman, I went in September last year!

@EK-lp8od 2 года назад

Makes me want to head to 🇨🇱! Did you use an particular resource like surfline or a local one to find your surf spots?

@DanHarmon123 2 года назад

Do it!! Yeah just MSW and a few random blogs!!

@ekphotography Год назад

Chile is usually pumping all year round. I have NEVER seen Chile flat and lived here for over 20 years... The water is cold as shit all year round but No sharks luckily, so you can surf with out any fear of being eaten like most other countries..

@ryanlowe988 Год назад

I'm a fan of wetsuit surfing it really rings down the crowds 😅

@thomaskrebs8110 Год назад

Very helpful. Thank you. I've been in Swakopmund in July and August (not good enough to surf Donkey's) and now I will fly to J-Bay for September and October followed by Sri Lanka for the rest of the year. I was looking for a place for January and February and it seems I found a place to go. Swakopmund could be a place for you to visit. It's cheap, safe, has very good food, empty line up's but many dolphins and a very good vibe. I liked it. Although the quality of the waves of the local surfspots aren't that good like those you showed in your video.

@DanHarmon123 Год назад

Thanks mate! Might see ya in Sri Lanka! Heading there in 2 weeks! Would love to head back and explore more of Africa!!

@joelthomasson3221 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the vid, is 4 nights enough down there if just surfing Punta and maybe a wave an hour north?

@Petepato3 Год назад

Are there some more protected spots (producing chesthigh to headhigh waves) when the swell is huge (which seems to happen quite often in that part of Chile) ? Thanks!

@DanHarmon123 Год назад

Hey James! Yes, Chile definitely gets some swell. and i'm sure there are plenty of hidden spots. To be honest it was just between 2 and 6ft and firing when I was there so I didn't hunt them out!!

@franciscoulloa8559 Год назад

@djizzah Год назад

to make it more interesting you need someone to film you or others surfing the waves from the beach

@DanHarmon123 Год назад

Oh tell me about it!! I travel full time on my own, so hiring a videographer isn't always an option for me! But looking to get better (front-on) surf footage in coming videos and have some exciting trips planned!!

@jmjaeger80 Год назад

Thanks for the great info with an honest & humble style. Planning a trip down that way for September. Have my eye on a point down south (chiloe region) that looks like can only be accessed via 2 day hike or boat. Prevailing wind is offshore. It appears this spot has yet to be discovered by the masses. Anyone know what I’m talking about? Can’t find evidence this spot has been surfed, but wouldn’t doubt there is a local crew keeping it on lockdown.

@DanHarmon123 Год назад

Haha sounds like you might be onto something James! I didn't stray too far from the well known spots but good luck and hope yous core what you're looking for :)

@VaeVictis-wh2sb Год назад

Hi, it depends, because if you arrive to Santiago, then you have to drive/bus/flight to Puerto Montt, and then go to Chiloé, by water is about 90 kms. There is a flight you can take from Santiago to Castro, thats about 20 kms. to Chiloé. In Chiloé there are several buses that can take you to other cities around, and to other islands. And yes, you are right what you say is not yet discovered by the masses, and is a really beautiful place to visit, also people is really kind and definitely you will not starve...tons of food there. Hope you enjoy my country 🎉

@jmjaeger80 Год назад

⁠@@VaeVictis-wh2sbthank you very much for the details here. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time to get all the way down to Chiloé this time. I was blown away by the beauty of the natural landscape and kindness of everyone we encountered - including all the locals. I hope to rerun as soon as possible.

@bluedoggum8373 10 месяцев назад

Looked fun. Nice scenery. I’m over the cold water. I know some good surfers in Peru and they tell me to go to Ecuador all the time. I guess the water is warmer. I need me sum 80 water now, minimum haha

@ic1963 2 года назад

Hey did u take your own board? And did you get a roof rack with the car? Thanks

@DanHarmon123 2 года назад

Hey! So I travel with a board bag (3 boards 5'10) so they fit in the car with the backseats down! But sometimes i'll use roof ties if cars too small :)

@DanHarmon123 Год назад

I mean, hardly regulated. There were 4 cameras on the beach and it's not a secret spots. No names mentioned here either...

@technoskill Год назад

@@DanHarmon123 they told you not to film and you went in and left. whatever you want to call that. no spot names mentioned but there are visible landmarks in all of your footage and you basically explained how to get there. they didn't like you filming but you still posted the footage. in a previous comment you said there were 3 cameras on the beach, now there are 4...whatever justifies your own behavior i guess. filming from the beach doesn't show the landmarks btw. i guess i'm just old school and can't imagine showing up to a spot for the first time with a camera. you are a competent surfer and you're traveling alone and exploring. you're so close to doing it right.
