For two highly experienced watermen like Nathan and Ivan Florence to suffer, sea conditions must be really rough.

This video makes it clear how heavy Puerto Escondido really is when it is gigantic and how beastly those who manage to dominate it are.

Nathan takes two nasty hits, Ivan paddles out into the harbour... The only successful surf in the video is by Greg Long on a left.

Nathan says: "It was the worst blow I've had in two years."

Puerto Escondido 10, the rest of the world 0.
