The 50-year swell, the same one that hit California, arrived in Peru with force and excellent conditions.
Gabriel Vargas, Seba Correa, Andrés Etchecopar and some other brave souls got up early on the wave that can be said to be the Puerto Escondido of the Peruvian coast. This tubular beach break in which Correa himself has been seen breaking it (see video).
"I don't know how to tell it... We were the first to get into the water along with Sebas Correa and Andresito Etchecopar, we went in at night. I had never seen a wave so big, I had never ridden it like that and the only board I had, the longest one, was too small for me. On the first wave, I was in the spot and I paddled with everything and at one point I thought I wasn't going to be able to get it down and I got in just in time. I just pulled in and the wave rode perfectly, incredible. In fact, it's a different feeling to get into a tube like that at home," Vargas shared with DUKE.
The session had several epic moments but ended with an injury to one of the heaviest Peruvian chargers, Sebastian Correa, who, as he showed in his stories, injured his ribs.
