Heavy Puerto Escondido - NOPE NOPE NOPE

Puerto is doable for most east coast guys. If you can surf the Hatteras, you can surf Puerto. I'm way more comfortable in heavy beach breaks... I know it makes no sense. I think its a muscle memory thing. You are used to angling on the takeoff, quick pump, bottom turn, barrel... repeat. Same thing with Hermosa, Colorados or any of the beach breaks at Bocas.

That happened because he was on a yellow board......

 

I don't understand what made him fall of to begin with. Looked like a good, clean line.

 

fvck THAT.

I'd be kissing the beach as soon as I hit it

This is the same guy from the Puerto video... seems he specializes in getting destroyed in big waves. I think I'd prefer the beating at Puerto to the one at Todos Santos. Closest I've had to anything like that was Soup Bowl (the channel was completely closed out on a huge north swell) and Tres Palmas (got washed all the way in to Steps).

Its funny watching both videos though. Max breath hold is 13 seconds. Seems easy, but if you've experienced it, ten seconds seems like an eternity.

 

Dat ass at :26 tho, yep yep yep.

 

Is it just me or does he lose his board on every duck dive? In both videos he goes under the face with his board and comes out the backside without it.
