Too bad - I hope someone can get that sewage problem taken care of, as surfing in the sewage waters is looking for an infection. However, La Boya was a wondeful break, with very long rights that had increasingly fun sections, ending in a deeper canal that one could paddle undisturbed all the way back to the peak. Powerful peak, then a fast section, followed by a hollow section and ending with a slower section that was good for radical cutbacks, or to just kick out for a shorter paddle back to the peak. The local crowd should start making noise to get the sewage out of there.

Dont go - This used to be my dream wave but now I never go. Last time I was out I got dropped in on EVERY Wave. Literally 50 kooks and 3 guys who ncould even ride the line. Just like PR now.

European-Surfer - This wave is fun, but poluted. Last time I surfed it in jan 2006 I smelled of human shit and had to drink about a half bottle of Brugal just to kill of all the bacteria. I woun't go there any more.
