We had information about some places south of the province of Buenos Aires and even a little further down and we were waiting for the swell to properly impact those beaches.

Many times the spots are epic but then the swells don't come in. So we go for one where the south swell hits well.

We had a good forecast, but on the night of the trip it changed and it ended up smaller than we expected. But we saw the potential of a place with rocky or sandy and rocky bottoms.

A total desert, there is nothing, it was a ghost town.

But above all, the best thing was being able to share with the team, camping in a place where there was nothing, no services, no telephone… So we threw ourselves into the adventure and went on a real surf trip and really explored a place that was not safe for anyone. In all aspects: whether there were going to be waves or not, whether there was a place to stay or not…

We stayed there for two days, we explored a couple of places and I think it has tremendous potential. We saw just a little bit of what there is.

It's like a first step in this story, but the nice thing is that the team shared the whole time. We saw the best things about the kids when it came to cooperation in setting up the tents, lighting the fire, and helping when the trucks were left behind.

It was a very nice experience.

We went through some places that were impossible to get to if you didn't have a vehicle equipped to travel there.

"I think it has tremendous potential. We only saw a little bit of what there is," says Martin. The "little bit" seems pretty good! All photos: Canty Ramos
"A real surf trip" has moments like these.
Mini Namibia somewhere south of Buenos Aires province? Maybe. The only goofy on the trip, Martín Passeri, took advantage of it.
Thiago Passeri also took advantage.
Nazareno Pereyra, surgically placed on a good left somewhere in the south, where there is nothing nearby, no cell signal, but there are good waves.
The youngest of the trip, Simon Siri, going down a good one.
Maxi Siri, Simon's dad, showing him the way.
"We went into some places that were impossible to get to if you didn't have a vehicle equipped to travel there," says Passeri, and the photo proves it.
Naza Pereyra applies pressure, unaware that there is a big stone in front of him greeting him.
Given the length of the Argentine coastline, it is incredible that Mar del Plata, Pinamar and Chubut are the only places where there is a permanent surfing community. Waves like the one in the photo must be all along the coast.

There are perfect rights and there are also perfect lefts in this area of ​​Argentina.
Maxi Siri's style, always current.
And Martín Passeri's, not to mention it.
The advantages of grom: Overhead wave, which for bigger people is due to chest height.
Funny is an understatement.
