Ah the Brazo's. They are popular no matter where they go.
just got out of the water with a footy team sized pack of peruvians.
except for travelling in a ridiculously sized crew , to a man they were perfect gentlemen
, ripped and charged. i give them three and a half stars. points deducted for pack mentality.
Where in Peru can you specifically recommended? What was the water temp like, will I need a wetsuit? I have mild aquagenic urticaria and being 6'4" it might be difficult to find a suitable wettie.
Plenty of accommodation, can you rent boards etc? I'm in Ecuador at the moment (backpacking SA) and plan to head to Mompiche but was planning to tour the coast of Peru in a few months.
I'm definitely a begginer too.
Cheers.
*EDIT*
Ok I checked out your site and saw some places you surfed, nice blog, making me jealous!
Per capita, Peru has the highest amount of breast implants in the world. with those statistics, Id go even if it was land locked...
From my experience there are more enhancements in Colombia, and the women there are stunning!
@benherrgott; Nica and Chica vids were awesome! Thanks for posting them.
Peru? Breast implants? Woo-hoo! Who knew? Chicama next June!
Gday guys,
I just left Peru after 7 weeks of good consistent waves including that big swell that allowed the BWWT to run Pico Alto. Anyway, I though I would share the good times & amazing places through short films, See them there: www.theduckwhisperer.com
Just to convince you further, Peru is uncrowded (apart from Lobitos), friendly as, and as cheeps as it gets.
Cheers
