Just take off on the peak pull in tight and get an amazingly long tube. Try not to get to nailed!
Atmosphere
This place is amazing with a huge A frame peak in the middle of the beach and a messy point break to the left. Only a few bodyboarding groms in the water and friendly local lifeguards.
General
Excellent surf spot especially for spongers.

- andrin does break and quite often aswell,, i have visited this spot during the off season many times and it has been firing. even this summer a group of english stand-ups went there and had the best sessions there equal with rodilles. dont surf it when its shit, and complain its no good. every break has its off days!! and the paople who commented on the locals being aggressive must be right losers as the locals are friendly and most are young bodyboarders from the small local village who just want to enjoy their break.

A really s... - Ok, i'm going to explain the truth about this spot. Is a really s..., only breakes a few times at year, and you never have good waves, The locals are very agresive and dangerous and there are 60 feet crabs waiting for you in the water. NEVER SURF OR BODYBOARD here. Bueno los de casa ya nos entendemos

local de cue - no creo q sea world class ni mamonadas de esas, la longitud es de 3metros la mayoria de los dias, lo que no quita que los dias buenos enlaces 3 o 4 picos, sale cuando sale, mucho fantasma bodyboarder de fuera haciendose el local pero estos no son respetados por la gente de llanes, los locales de verdad respetaran siempre que se les respete, sino largate cagando leches, pero ya!!
