Chicama 12

Image00004

First surf session, and we pull up to this.

While I was in Lima, I checked the surf report for up north, and it looked like the day we were arriving was going to be one of the biggest days.   Chicama is a world class spot, but it needs swell.  Like my Punta Roca’s session earlier, I was looking for the Chicama session that topped all others.  This was that session.

I would not believe it, if I had not ridden it. 700+ yards

 

I got my longest wave of my life, that according to Google Earth was 700 + yards.   The stories of your legs hurting, because the wave is so long, are true.   That was only my longest, I had many other super long ones.  It was like a cycle, catch incredibly long wave, walk up the point, repeat.   It was just us, and 3 others.   Two of the older guys had a boat, that they got on when their ride was over.   Right back up the point, with no walking.  Chicama is a world class surf spot
