South America - Week 1 Part 3 - San Bartolo

So our new friends had been telling us all week about this one place they wanted to take us. We finally got it organized, woke up and got out of our hostel before 9am, and met the guys. We had to skate probably 30 or 40 blocks, take a few different buses all through the city, listen to our friends argue in Spanish for 10 minutes over a Sole (Peruvian Currency) and trek over some sand dunes before finally arriving in this little beach town called San Bartolo. But it was well worth the trek.

First things first, we found this beast:


which of course Garrett wasted no time in destroying.


But seriously though, the damn thing is weird as hell. It didn't really make any sense. The best we can figure is someone was trying to make some kind of concrete wave of sorts. It has no coping, no vert, rollers everywhere and is probably about 14 feet deep at it's deepest point. So basically, it's massive. And awesome.
