The longest wave in the world. PERU 

Legend goes, this guy's visa to Peru expired halfway through riding this wave

Dang, must be nice. Catch a wave as a beginner and finish the same wave as a pro.

Some say he's still surfing to this day

Guy 1: I’m totally wrecked after that surf session. Guy 2: How many waves did you score? Guy 1: One.

more time in a wave than my 8years surfing waves

“Went surfing today. Man, am I worn out.” “How many waves you catch?” “Two”

This is how you get from one city to another in Peru.

I ride waves like that frequently. Soon as I enter REM while sleeping.

it was like he was commuting to work

All the way to Ecuador with those long waves.

I surfed this place completely ALONE in the early 2000s. I was a pioneer. I flew to Peru landed in Lima and went up/down the coast. Surfed a couple places Huanchaco then I went also went to Chicama - which is one of the shittiest waves on the planet Earth literally s***. Corduroy that look like 50 waves coming in and then the most powerless mushy shit at 6 ft you've ever seen. All hype. Reports of a huge South swell came in, I looked up a couple spots that I had been considering and Pacasmayo, El faro was first on my list. So without having any friends there or anybody to talk to about it, just my girlfriend, I went and flagged down a taxi and hired him to pick me up at 5:00am in the morning and drive me from Huanchaco to Pacasmayo! When I arrived we drove through a little Street off the highway with not much on it just dirt and a couple typical Mexican buildings that look like they're falling apart whether they weren't or not.. and it turned out to be a fishing village! Drove down and on your right was the fishing village with boats that were launching out from the bay and to the left you saw nothing but dirt sand and rocks.. and a lighthouse on the point. That's it! I asked the taxi driver if he could drive down on the sand and he said he'd give it a try. So he drove me all the way to the point which had all rocks there. Once I assessed the wave for a while I asked him if he would go down to where he drove me in and pick me up once I finish the wave in the bay and drive me back and he said no problem! I had my girlfriend filming me and the winds were straight offshore probably 40 to 50 miles an hour!. There was no one within a hundred miles of this place. I paddled out through the rocks it would take me about 10 to 15 seconds straight to the point I could see the waves coming. Then I would turn around choose the best one and as soon as I dropped in I would maybe do a bottom turn and then set up for an In-N-Out barrel after that it was a long long wave. Very weird. It would pump up to 8 ft in the face and then down to 4 ft in the face then back up to 8 ft in the face then down to 4 feet in the face. Very strange but I have me on film surfing a wave for 2 1/2 minutes! At one point when I got out of the water I just laid on the ground with my arms and legs spread in the sun thanking God! After we were there for a couple hours, the tide started getting higher and it wasn't working like it was before and every single wave wasn't making it all the way through. We told the taxi driver to take us home and as we were coming off the sand onto the road, three of the Australian guys that I told about the place we're just starting to walk down the road. They completely missed it. They went to some stupid bar or something there and got drunk all night and missed empty waves perfect all day and got high tide non-connecting shit. Know your limits. Know your goals. Now I hear the Pacasmayo has Hotels everywhere some s*** with f****** infinity pools or some crap. I know some f****** idiot that said, "I'm going to build a hotel there and make money and s***" f*** all of you that exploit secret beautiful places like this. Would you rather surf it alone with a friend? - Or with a ton of idiots, motorcycles, everywhere, boats, hotels. What a f****** tragedy. 🤦🏽‍♀️✌🏼

The single dislike must have been an envious regular foot

I live in Costa Rica and surf Pavones frequently. This had my jaw hitting the floor. That wave was amazing!

It's all fun until you have to paddle back 😂

I heard he left this wave to his kids in his final Will and testament.....

This wave is Pacasmayo seeing the cars parked at the end of the video. It holds more size than Chicama.

Pacasmayo la libertad - Peru has the longest wave in Peru ♥ I am a PMYO local and to this day that type of wave is surfed and this is that when it grows it is better .... you vibrate people! 🤙

reminds me of playing California Games back in the day 😊

And the legend says he's still riding it to this day.

I have ridden some long waves at Malibu when the 2nd-3rd area is connecting, it drops me off at the houses in front of the pier. It's like a dream. But this video puts that to shame. Wow. So much wave. So long. So fun.

On really big days Chicama and Pacasmayo link up to form what is known as "El Very Long Left"

This is what i'm talking about! at least 2 minutes 42 seconds with awesome sections! best wave in Peru, my first wave here was kinda like this but this was way better, don't tell anyone

There’s a longer wave in Chicama in Peru!!

Is longer than most of the marriages this days

Pacasmayo can be so long, we might have a tendency to safety-surf the wave. Ricardo can rip......but you don't want to fall off halfway or you don't get the "longest wave in the world" video on youtube.

If you notice a difference in the quality of the video is because is beta at the beginning and digital at the end

Legend has it, he’s still walking back to the line up for the take off area.

amazing Perú 👍🤙🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🤙👍

That was slick never seen a wave so long

Talking about leg burns. My legs got tired watching.

legend says he's still surfing

Wow! Lucky man!!

Wow, at my home break a good wave is when I get to make more than one bottom turn.

Fuk me, i'm sure he crossed the border into Chile on that wave.

tell you what...your surfing skills will go up so quick at a spot like that....you will be a pro after one day

You can ride 3 waves in that zone : start in Huanchaco, Chicama, Pacasmayo

His turns got better as he rode.

Beautiful

That is a longer ride than I've had in Florida for the past 5 years combined!😥

You catch that wave, you’ll need two things for when you finally pull out of it. Your lunch, and your phone for when you book that Uber to get back to your car.

Legend has it, he’s still on it

Awesome, l still remember a day a day of surfing at Matachen Bay, San Blas Mexico (once considered the longest surf wave) for what seemed to be minutes and minutes...slow, mushy, small, unforgettable and awesome!

What a great video of a great spot! It's so lame to read so many comments about a guys ability to surf a wave. Who cares how good he is!? You better believe he's Fakin Stoked! For those of you that grew up near the Ocean, surfed your whole lives and surf really well, don't judge us less fortunate surfers who had to work hard and bust our asses just to get to the Ocean. Then learn how to surf and deal with all the A-holes yelling "Kook" at us! This wave reminds me of a cold left hand version of one of the Noosa bays. Granites probably!

There's a spot in Maryland that breaks just like that only it's 1/1000 the length

Love u Peru... See u soon

Absolut genial!!! I love it :-)

That's insane. Wow🔥

Best break ever!

Holy shit! What a long wave and then a ride back to the line up. Nice!!!🙌🔥🤙

Started in Peru, got off in Bognor Regis.

Bruh: Dude caught a wave so long O thought he would end up finishing it in SoCal -somewhere near San Diego, CA

Bucket List Wave

That was an awesome wave we dont get those here in Chridtchurch Newzealand

Would that be heaven riding that wave? Outstanding

*_Could you imagine if the winds were just a little bit more off shore..HS!_* *_That would be awesome. Still defiantly the longest rides I have ever seen, and I have been surfing since the late 70's._*

Glad he caught a ride back, that would be a long walk!

Baddasss!!! Skeleton Bay is also amazing I think it's better because of how you can be in a barrel for idk half a mile....

That a lot of work! So amazing! Paddle back 5 kilometers haha

It was a wonderful ride sir. Sorry if I was negative in my last comment. Enjoy life wherever u are,every day.

Legend has it that last surfer surfed into the middle of next week..

Bro this insane!!! He rode that wave for 3 minutes straight. I wonder how long it was.

Came for the Pepper's song, stayed for the impressive surfing. Dang!

amazing,,,greetings from sumatra indonesia

A lots changed since you caught that wave my friend

Oooh que genial la ola!!

does this wave have barreling sections on some days? that would be sick

That was tense. He had to keep making sure the end of the wave wouldn't catch up with him and that he'd stay on his board.

LMAO. That ride was like a fricking groomed run ski slope! Unreal. Before seeing this I thought Jeffrey's or somewhere in Costa Rica had the longest rideable wave. The return ride might be a come down but still - what a wave!

Wow. Was this wave in the original Endless Summer movie? Epic wave. Guess you don't paddle back to the line up, walk back along the beach or jump in a mates boat.

I’d love to try to bodysurf something like that. That’s amazing

Nice ride

Well at least he got to see all of Peru while he was there.

Bucket list wave

鵠沼から辻堂まで乗り続けるかんじだな〜 嘘みたいな良い波🌊

隣町まで、いっちゃって　歩いて帰るには大変そう。 羨ましいですよね。

And then he just realized that he has arrived to hawai. Riding that long wave

Really wow!

See you guys in Ecuador 🇪🇨 👍🏼

Badass wave

Don’t wake me! I’ve been surfing sense early 60s I am a goofy footer, the longest wave I have ever seen was on the movie endless summer, my back side. So now I have seen the wave of My Dreams, I now, know where to GO and Die!! 🤙👍❤️🙏🏻

Amazing

Wow, I can feel my legs burning already. And then jelly arms from the paddle. No wonder we are so fit.

You know the wave is long when even the camera guy got tired

Nothing longer than history class

Love the videos i hope everyone is having a awsome day and I love everyone and god so much amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤

Excelente

Legend has it , he ate his lunch while on this wave after the 2nd video went out of focus .

it just looks so... convenient!

I'd be standing like a stickman from fatigue about halfway through

ledgend has it that this man couldnt walk for a month after this wave

Had to tap The video to see how long it was lol I was like “he’s going!...still going....still going....ooook still going...then I tapped the video and noticed it was 2/3 of the video and he was still going lol

Wife: You've been gone surfing all day! How many waves did you catch....? Surfer: One.

sic whats the name of the beach?

best wave i've ever seen

Surf all day and catch 3 waves one after breakfast that you ride till lunch, after lunch ride one till dinner, after dinner ride your last wave till the sun sets.

It starts in Peru. What country does it end in?

Dude. I envy you.

bucket list

凄い長いレフトだなぁ！乗ってみたい❗😀👍 戻るの大変だね！💦

Not Chicama? Or is it the next break over the hill?
