This guy on fb has pizza shop right at bb takes pics and watches dailyI've been watching the nathan florence unedited footage. Looks crowded AF.
If you can even have a pick.On solid SW swells, 1 out of 25 waves is makeable. On solid SSW-S swells, 1 out of 15 waves is makeable. Pick your poison.
Trip report?If you can even have a pick.
@Duffy LaCoronilla went a few years back, don't think we ever got a TR though. Maybe he can give some info.
Duffy did you bring proper semi gun/gun I could not imagine trying to surf wave like this now but at 18 prime of my life scored pascuales with proper semi gun shaped by Dave Johnson after another crew went Summer before us. We scored but paid heavy price of beat downs, montezuma's revenge,and snapped board(s)Trip report?
Crowded, closed out, scary.
I made one wave in four days. Caught 10 at most.

Curious - what's the draw?Surfed Puerto probably 20 trips between age 17 and 37. Rode 9'0" - 6'6". Lots of waves on a beefy 6'10' pintail single fin back in the day. Coming out of the barrel always just a bonus. I'm sure it pretty much sux now.
Challege and some like me love beach breaks and reefs more then point breaks but its a young mans game @kool-aid gets plenty of practice since SFOB is his home break. I have never been to PE but seems like on the non XXL days TOH breaks closer to shore then say pascuales did or a least in '89. I remember 3 a frame peaks "left, center, right" all spread out 25 yards apart so when center peak had first set you paddle like life depends on it for right peak hoping you make it out on time To this day still most challenging wave ever surfed after 42 yearsCurious - what's the draw?
Being a notorious closeout/surf porn wave I've always wondered this.
There are so many better waves on the planet - of all the waves to put you in a wheelchair or kill you - that's the one to choose?
Always seems like a lot of guys from TX and FL love it.
