Peruvian
Coast Surfing
Peru is
located on the West Coast of South America. Topographically diverse, Peru has
many distinct regions from the Andes Mountains to the Amazon River basin.
Located 10 degrees south of the equator in the Southern Hemisphere the seasons
are reversed. Winter is from May to November and summer is from December to
April. The coastline in Peru is extremely arid, air temperatures in the winter
range from 60-70 degrees. In the summer, the air temperatures range from 80-90
degrees with bright sunny days.
Peru has
over 1400 miles of coastline, where the surf breaks year round and with all
types of wave's can be found. The points, reefs and beach breaks receive their
swells from storms in the South Pacific and also from major storms in the North
Pacific. In the summer (our Winter) the surf averages 4 to 10 feet with some
days easily reaching 20 feet. In the winter (our Summer) the surf averages 8 to
15 feet with days in the 20-foot plus size very common. Peru has an extremely
large swell window and it can receive swells from the South, Southwest, West
and Northwest.
Lima Region
Punta
Hermosa, just South of Lima is considered Peru's big wave location. This area
of headlands, reefs and coves tends to focus the swell energy creating ideal
surfing conditions. The largest wave's in South America can be found at Pico
Alto. Wind conditions in Peru are often very light and this in turn creates
glassy waves year round. Because most of the surf spots in Peru are reef point
breaks, paddling out when it's big is not a problem, all most always with dry
hair. Water temperatures are comfortable. In the summer you can wear just
baggies or a spring suit. In the winter either a spring or full suit depending
on conditions.
Central
Coast - Centinela, Huanchaco, Chicama and Pacasmayo.
This Area
is a little warmer than Lima Region, nearly all waves are lefts and most of
them are very long, this is the case of Chicama ( the longest left on earth and
Pacasmayo that seams like buses chasing you in water). This is the area of the
Mochica people, ancient Peruvians that dominated this area 3,000 years ago, so
we can find many arqueological sites around this area. This People are known to
be the first surfers on earth, using their ancestral "caballitos de
totora" (Fishing boats made from totora cane, similar in shape to surfboards).
Temperatures
here vary between 14ºC to 30 ºC, but the sea water temperature is colder the
most of the times, is necessary a full wetsuit (3/2 mm).
Northern
Coast - Talara and Mancora.
Tropical
beaches and year round sunny weather make the perfect setting for excellent
waves. Many point breaks offer fast, hollow tubes; namely: El Hueco, Cabo
Blanco, Organos, Mancora and Bayovar. The Surf is good during All year. besides
surfing, deep sea Fishing for tuna, Marlin or other big game fish and spear diving
are the other activities for which this area is renowned. This easy going
region also offers the finest sea food in the country at a very low price. A
spring wetsuit is recommendable for Talara and just a Lycra for Mancora.

History
Long before
the Inca empire, along the Peruvian coast existed many amazing cultures whose
lives where surrounded by the powerful oceans. Their people where merchandisers
and fishermen who struggled to survive in harmony with nature. For years
however, their fishing was limited to the lakes around the coast despite the
ocean’s proximity and the goods these could bare, for as of then, they had not
yet discovered a way of dominating its tempestuous nature.
In order to
achieve this, it was indispensable to create some kind of craft that would
allow them to reach behind the waves. With this idea leading their minds, they
returned to their lakes to fish the tiny fishes that hid in between the
totora’s canes. It was hence here, amongst the Totora reed where a fisherman
first conceived the idea of using the ditch reeds of the totora plant to build
their first craft; the TUP the little Totora horse as we today knowit. Lets
imagine then that magical moment in which this fisherman dared to go into the
sea aboard of his primitive craft, after fighting with the waves, he manags to
move away from the shore and throw his nets and fishhooks into the ocean,
achieving copious fishing. But on his way back however, he is hit by the waves
and looses all of the day’s caught prey. Consecuently, he is forced to study
the waves and improve his craft until creating the first real little horse of
totora, crowned with a firm and proud prow that tolerates the dashing of the
waves, hence changing their lives forever. This unbeatable craft is still used
as an unequal ship by today´s fishermen.
These
ancient fishermen however must have gone through a period of training to get
familiar with the waves in order to surpass them and arrive safe and sound to
the beach with the day´s fishing outcome Intact. Everything seems to suggest
that it was at this point when the ancient Peruvians started surfing for
pleasure. Think about it. These fishermen where entering the sea throughout a
whole period of time with the only purpose of getting to know the waves. The
first thing they had to learn was to confront them in order to arrive to the
fishing area usually located behind the breaking of the waves, thus
consequently, and here comes the beauty of the story, they had to learn how to
fight the rush of the waves so, when returning to the coast, their fragile
crafts wouldn’t be overturned. Day after day, they paddled to reach the
breaking of the waves, so that once there, they could practice the act of
returning to the beach taking advantage of the wave's motive power.
Don’t you
think these fishermen, after beating the endless rush of waves from a beach
such as Huanchaco, didn’t experience an indescribable pleasure when, finally,
they pointed the prow of their little TOTORA horses towards the coast and
allowed themselves to be carried ashore by a wave at an extraordinary speed,
can you imagine the expression in their faces, the sensation of pride and
virility that they must of felt when verifying that each time they were more
dexterous at each stage of their apprenticesship? Don’t you think they must of
thought of entering the sea for the pure pleasure of just surfing some good
waves? Can a man, of any time or culture, desist from surfing once he has
experienced the enormous pleasure that this practice brings?
Traditionally,
the roots of the art of surfing are attributed directly to the ancient members
of the Hawaiian royalty. However, advances In the field of pre-Columbian
archaeology have revolutionized these theories due to evidence suggesting that
the ancient inhabitants of the Peruvian coast surfed amazing waves three
thousands years ago.
Remains of
both the Chimu and Mochica cultures have revealed that these were greatly
influenced by the sea in a manner much superior to that of any other ancient
civilization. In their iconography, as we can observe from the relics found in
the Huacas del Brujo, del Sol and of La Luna in the Moche valley, there is an
abundance of images showing endless sequences of waves that represent the
movement, the force and power of the sea as a source of life.
Generally,
the developmentS of a society are measured by their advances in agriculture,
but in the case of Mochica and Chimú however, their development was linked
directly to fishing: they transformed the pacific Ocean into one of the biggest
fisheries in the world. Everywhere around the artistic creation of these
cultures, waves appear as a symbol of power: the infinite and incomparable
power that controlled their universe. In several pieces of art representling
Gods or supernatural circumstances, a frame of waves appears around each
drawing. We just have to imagine the infinite series of waves of the Chicama
beach and remember that this wave, one of the longest in the world, is only
twenty kilometers away from the Lambayeque excavations- where the richest tomb
of America, that of the Mochican Master of Sipán, was recently discovered.
Nowhere
else in America has there been proof of a social development so connected to
the sea like the one of the peoples from Chan Chan city. Practically in no
other culture did there exist a population so numerous that cohabited so
intimately with an ocean so powerful, which moreover, is almost always at swell
all year round. bearing this in mind, this is another of the reasons why many
of the remaining walls of Chan Chan are covered with drawings and friezes in
high relief representing fishing scenes, including not only series of waves,
but sea birds, sea deities and spirits.
The Chan
Chan Festival of the Sea in Huanchaco, a beach located 560 kilometer to the
north of Lima, is a unique event in the surfing world, an opportunity to
discover an ancient tradition of surfing still alive today. Huanchaco is the
biggest coastal town where you can still see the fishermen entering the sea
aboard of the legendary little Totora Horses. To the date, they continue to
practice with success these same fishing and raft construction techniques as
those employed by their ancestors. As put by archeologists this tradition can
be traced back to 1000BC for it this is all eventually depicted an
archeological ceremonila vessel of the Viru Culture, an antiquity of 3000
years, where you can clearly see a man being presented aboard of a little
totora craft.
If 3000
years ago, the little Totora boats were an indispensable element in the lives
of the Ancient peruvian fishermen, surfing must of been too, a part of the
habitual tasks of these people who discovered and enjoyed this enormous
pleasure 3000 years ago, long before it was improved and taken to its highest
level of artistic perfection by the members of the Hawaiian royalty.
