 Additional Information

Valla a la provincia de cauquenes, especificamente al pueblo de santos. Si te vas a meter, debes llevar una moto de agua. La entrada a remo es imposible debido a que la ola es oceanica. Este spot fue descubierto por Merello, Navarro.

Atmosphere

Una de las olas mas grandes del mundo, muy poco frecuente que salga. Lleva chaleco salvavidas y un corazón de acero si te vas a meter. Si vas ve solo en invierno en la época de las marejadas mas grandes del año (Junio/Mayo)

General

Spot brutal, si no eres un profesional, no te metas. Sensaciones fuertes para profesionales.
