Additional Information
It is fast and hollow, so if you aren{t experienced, don't go there. Respect us locals.
Atmosphere
It is amazing if you know how to surf it, since I am a local, I think it is one of the best rides in the country when it is epic.
General
You can be surfing there forever and never get bored; every wave is a totally different one.

About surfing - I´m currently staying in Chincha for the next 7 months or so and i would like to surf during this time. Where can i by a board and other equipment and since this beach isn´t good for beginners, is there another beach close that would be better to learn at?
