One of the countries with the most surfing tradition in Latin America, with the most visitors as well, with a lot of exploration, still keeps its secrets.

A few months ago, legendary local waterman Alvaro Solano posted a great tube at this incredible spot and a few weeks ago, he visited it again. This time with young Axel Castro, who faced a nice challenge on this left-hander with perfect form but proving to be very challenging.

There is little water, several bubbles can be seen in the photos, which make it clear that the challenge is not minor.

Below are some photos of one of the several secrets that Costa Rica has.

It's perfect and the wave is solid too. With little water at the bottom, that left can be very dangerous.

And looking for the best place to place itself in the pipe, in your house.
It's not Indonesia, it's Costa Rica, man.

The little boy is already quite tall and stands upright inside the tube.

And keeping calm.
What waves!
What waves x 2!
What waves x3!
Axel went looking for the necessary step up to continue facing the power of the sea.
