Benoit Avril Tell me about it. I used to be decent, then didn’t surf for about 10 years. Bought a long board, and after paddling out at Huntington on. 2-4’ day, my arms were spaghetti once I reached the lineup. I was completely gassed. You have to be in good shape to surf effectively.
@@jcd-k2s Hahaha... Dude, the first time a was in Pacasmayo we were seated at the lighthouse looking at the wave and figuring out the way to get the line up when we saw a guy walking at the beach with a surfboard under his arm. He paddled to the line up just in front of the lithouse, he took a wave and he did maybe 30 cutbacks, he got out with the foam and then walked back to the town. Literally, he just got one wave.
I've surfed it, I should've paid honestly for the motorboats to take me back to the lineup but I did the hike 2 times down that coastline, its only like a 25 minute walk along dunes and a rocky shore, there's a little trail though, the landscape is super epic!
Pacasmayo la libertad - Peru has the longest wave in Peru ♥ I am a PMYO local and to this day that type of wave is surfed and this is that when it grows it is better .... you vibrate people! 🤙
I have ridden some long waves at Malibu when the 2nd-3rd area is connecting, it drops me off at the houses in front of the pier. It's like a dream. But this video puts that to shame. Wow. So much wave. So long. So fun.
This is what i'm talking about! at least 2 minutes 42 seconds with awesome sections! best wave in Peru, my first wave here was kinda like this but this was way better, don't tell anyone
Pacasmayo can be so long, we might have a tendency to safety-surf the wave. Ricardo can rip......but you don't want to fall off halfway or you don't get the "longest wave in the world" video on youtube.
Awesome, l still remember a day a day of surfing at Matachen Bay, San Blas Mexico (once considered the longest surf wave) for what seemed to be minutes and minutes...slow, mushy, small, unforgettable and awesome!
What a great video of a great spot! It's so lame to read so many comments about a guys ability to surf a wave. Who cares how good he is!? You better believe he's Fakin Stoked! For those of you that grew up near the Ocean, surfed your whole lives and surf really well, don't judge us less fortunate surfers who had to work hard and bust our asses just to get to the Ocean. Then learn how to surf and deal with all the A-holes yelling "Kook" at us! This wave reminds me of a cold left hand version of one of the Noosa bays. Granites probably!
I surfed there a lot. that is the problem with this wave. it is so long you don't want to fall off, so you do safety surfing to stretch it out. Ricardo is good and can rip, but you don't want to take a chance at Pacasmayo. It is all about the length.
*_Could you imagine if the winds were just a little bit more off shore..HS!_* *_That would be awesome. Still defiantly the longest rides I have ever seen, and I have been surfing since the late 70's._*
Randothol H considering this is in Peru. And Peru faces west. He is travelling left to right and therefore north. It will be a very long time before he ever sees Chile travelling north!!
I surfed this place completely ALONE in the early 2000s. I was a pioneer. I flew to Peru landed in Lima and went up/down the coast. Surfed a couple places Huanchaco then I went also went to Chicama - which is one of the shittiest waves on the planet Earth literally s***. Corduroy that look like 50 waves coming in and then the most powerless mushy shit at 6 ft you've ever seen. All hype. Reports of a huge South swell came in, I looked up a couple spots that I had been considering and Pacasmayo, El faro was first on my list. So without having any friends there or anybody to talk to about it, just my girlfriend, I went and flagged down a taxi and hired him to pick me up at 5:00am in the morning and drive me from Huanchaco to Pacasmayo! When I arrived we drove through a little Street off the highway with not much on it just dirt and a couple typical Mexican buildings that look like they're falling apart whether they weren't or not.. and it turned out to be a fishing village! Drove down and on your right was the fishing village with boats that were launching out from the bay and to the left you saw nothing but dirt sand and rocks.. and a lighthouse on the point. That's it! I asked the taxi driver if he could drive down on the sand and he said he'd give it a try. So he drove me all the way to the point which had all rocks there. Once I assessed the wave for a while I asked him if he would go down to where he drove me in and pick me up once I finish the wave in the bay and drive me back and he said no problem! I had my girlfriend filming me and the winds were straight offshore probably 40 to 50 miles an hour!. There was no one within a hundred miles of this place. I paddled out through the rocks it would take me about 10 to 15 seconds straight to the point I could see the waves coming. Then I would turn around choose the best one and as soon as I dropped in I would maybe do a bottom turn and then set up for an In-N-Out barrel after that it was a long long wave. Very weird. It would pump up to 8 ft in the face and then down to 4 ft in the face then back up to 8 ft in the face then down to 4 feet in the face. Very strange but I have me on film surfing a wave for 2 1/2 minutes! At one point when I got out of the water I just laid on the ground with my arms and legs spread in the sun thanking God! After we were there for a couple hours, the tide started getting higher and it wasn't working like it was before and every single wave wasn't making it all the way through. We told the taxi driver to take us home and as we were coming off the sand onto the road, three of the Australian guys that I told about the place we're just starting to walk down the road. They completely missed it. They went to some stupid bar or something there and got drunk all night and missed empty waves perfect all day and got high tide non-connecting shit. Know your limits. Know your goals. Now I hear the Pacasmayo has Hotels everywhere some s*** with f****** infinity pools or some crap. I know some f****** idiot that said, "I'm going to build a hotel there and make money and s***" f*** all of you that exploit secret beautiful places like this. Would you rather surf it alone with a friend? - Or with a ton of idiots, motorcycles, everywhere, boats, hotels. What a f****** tragedy. 🤦🏽♀️✌🏼
@@stephaneprivate1013 And you read every word of it. Shows that you have good taste. I know there's a lot to digest.. but destroying the world/planet is a serious subject
You catch that wave, you’ll need two things for when you finally pull out of it. Your lunch, and your phone for when you book that Uber to get back to your car.
Wow. Was this wave in the original Endless Summer movie? Epic wave. Guess you don't paddle back to the line up, walk back along the beach or jump in a mates boat.
wow..however is it longer than ther "mile long ride" (right!)in San Blas Mexico WHICH CAME OUT IN THE SURFER MAGAZINE IN 1960'S 0R 70?? or the "costa rica '(left)?
There is one spot I know of and it's gotta be a big swell 💪...The Seal Beach River Jetty!!!! When it's really big you can paddle out across the river Jetty and catch it way out along the N.side of the river basically in Long Beach at that point and ride it all the way across the river Jetty and pass it barely and keep going headed towards the Pier idk it's a long as paddle out and it's an even longer ride brotha cause you go way past the point you jump in and paddle from it's pretty awesome and the river water between the jettys is warm really warm due to the huge power plants up the river that warm the water....
@@clintcooper6425 dude I grew up surfing the river jetty. It never got this good. The wave is weird it has to be a good swell and then if it has any size there's 1000 guys on it. The only time I've seen it get great is a handful of times but it can
@@subsamadhi haha I'm old I was surfing that spot in the early 80'$ never said it was that good but it can get good and it's about the longest ride anywhere in southern California brotha...I surfed the Peninsula in Long Beach 62nd st. The day the Seal Beach Pier was destroyed it was epic trust me absolutely huge and good shape....your correct about the river breaking weird though...Dolphin St...is a pretty knarly shore break and Surfside has nice wedge shaped peaks in sunset haha
Surf all day and catch 3 waves one after breakfast that you ride till lunch, after lunch ride one till dinner, after dinner ride your last wave till the sun sets.
Absolutely NO comparison to Namibia, dont even go there, skeleton bay is a series of death defining radical tubing sections not big sloppy shoulders ..... and Peru stinks like burning trash 24-7. So there that too.......
Legend goes, this guy's visa to Peru expired halfway through riding this wave
he married a peruvian to get a permanent permit at 2:31 :)
Nice joke..well cracked..🤪🤪🤪👏👏👏
i think, this guy is a local hahah nice joke.
lol he surfed into another time zone
Dang, must be nice. Catch a wave as a beginner and finish the same wave as a pro.
Just what I was thinking. Guy almost learned how to cutback on one wave.
the10thleper haha right. He looked all gangly at the beginning then he got loose. I still think skeleton bays longer.
Yup, the wave basically does the work for you
@@zd_mon salty you can't ride it
No beginner on a well overhead to double overhead wave even one that looks like its breaking at a relatively mellow pace.
Some say he's still surfing to this day
jajaa :)
Best Comment ever
😂😂😂😂
He rode it around the earth. Seriously that was awesome!!!
No, I hear he’s halfway through paddling back to the takeoff spot.
Guy 1: I’m totally wrecked after that surf session.
Guy 2: How many waves did you score?
Guy 1: One.
“Went surfing today. Man, am I worn out.” “How many waves you catch?” “Two”

All the way to Ecuador with those long waves.

It's all fun until you have to paddle back 😂
3:00 best of both worlds
Did you see the start .. the guy give rides back to the start
Surf Vibes theres actually a boat that takes you to the point

I ride waves like that frequently. Soon as I enter REM while sleeping.
Think I met this guy, teaching a lesson on safety in the water with University of Surfing. Killer skills, great person really knows his stuff.
On really big days Chicama and Pacasmayo link up to form what is known as "El Very Long Left"
This is how you get from one city to another in Peru.
Pacasmayo la libertad - Peru has the longest wave in Peru ♥ I am a PMYO local and to this day that type of wave is surfed and this is that when it grows it is better .... you vibrate people! 🤙
reminds me of playing California Games back in the day 😊
I was thinking the same thing, or T&C Surf on original NES

And the legend says he's still riding it to this day.
If you notice a difference in the quality of the video is because is beta at the beginning and digital at the end
Is longer than most of the marriages this days
Longer than both of mine 🤣
That's funny dude, you guys surely do have funny bones and see the humourous part of everything😝🤩
I heard he left this wave to his kids in his final Will and testament.....
Son I need you to find this wave and finish it off, its still going strong somewhere out there.
This is what i'm talking about! at least 2 minutes 42 seconds with awesome sections! best wave in Peru, my first wave here was kinda like this but this was way better, don't tell anyone
This wave is Pacasmayo seeing the cars parked at the end of the video. It holds more size than Chicama.
There’s a longer wave in Chicama in Peru!!
Pacasmayo can be so long, we might have a tendency to safety-surf the wave. Ricardo can rip......but you don't want to fall off halfway or you don't get the "longest wave in the world" video on youtube.
Legend has it, he’s still walking back to the line up for the take off area.
There's a spot in Maryland that breaks just like that only it's 1/1000 the length
haha
Jinkinson sasa Where? OC? Assateague? 😂😂😂😂
Jinkinson sasa where is that? I surf Fenwick island, and sometimes asateage.
Inlet
Assateague but way worse and smaller
You can ride 3 waves in that zone : start in Huanchaco, Chicama, Pacasmayo
Wow, at my home break a good wave is when I get to make more than one bottom turn.
legend says he's still surfing
That is a longer ride than I've had in Florida for the past 5 years combined!😥
oh, c'mon man! we've got ponce...&, & monster hole...&....does amazons still break...?
@@motoz30 need a hurricane to surf monster hole I have been told.

does this wave have barreling sections on some days? that would be sick

His turns got better as he rode.
Not Chicama? Or is it the next break over the hill?

A lots changed since you caught that wave my friend
Where is this spot in peru plz ?!?
Baddasss!!! Skeleton Bay is also amazing I think it's better because of how you can be in a barrel for idk half a mile....
After the ride he has to catch a train from the next town just to get back to where he first paddled out
Eu voltei a pé...Em 1982 não havia bote...Nunca mais esqueci essa onda...

Is that Chicana or is that in chile
It starts in Peru. What country does it end in?

Surf all day and catch 3 waves one after breakfast that you ride till lunch, after lunch ride one till dinner, after dinner ride your last wave till the sun sets.
sic whats the name of the beach?
That was tense. He had to keep making sure the end of the wave wouldn't catch up with him and that he'd stay on his board.
He is gonna surf up to south california.
Dang, how is he gonna get back? He could go tens of kms like that
It was a wonderful ride sir. Sorry if I was negative in my last comment. Enjoy life wherever u are,every day.
I'd be standing like a stickman from fatigue about halfway through
comments are hillarious
... when you need a powerboat to take you back to the lineup. Might just be a longer ride than Skeleton Bay Namibia.
Yeah I was wondering whether Skeleton Bay might be the same
Significantly longer than Skeleton Bay.
@@TheNsNZ Thanks for the info
Absolutely NO comparison to Namibia, dont even go there, skeleton bay is a series of death defining radical tubing sections not big sloppy shoulders ..... and Peru stinks like burning trash 24-7. So there that too.......
imagine the feeling of riding those long waves...
Best break ever!
The only problem is the jet lag from the start at the finish of the wave
Glad he caught a ride back, that would be a long walk!
