The temple is honored

The temple is honored.

A good group of Peruvian surfers have this tradition that if the waves are huge, they don't avoid them but rather go into the water all day long.

Pico Alto is the temple, as they call it, and that's where they go to unload their bombs, risking their lives and sharing moments of maximum adrenaline.

What a swell is in the Pacific and what Peru is that makes the pumps not stop for three days in a row.

Even one of the biggest swells of the entire swell broke on the third day and was caught by Lucca Saldivar.
