Bring a fish or a twin fin!!! - Pimentel is a great peak which is shifty and suitable face for a fish or twin fin. Sometimes a ripping current, and other times glassy and peaky. Have fun and enjoy great beach, great people and the vibe of Peru.Its a good resting place in between swells.Pimentel also has some local surfers who rip so be respectful!
