I remember this place in 1992, we took a school trip, i was a kid, i never forget this place it was awesome.

It's a trip how the ocean there sounds like a Mariachi Band. : ) Love the waves! Viva Nayib Bukele!

Fun waves! Great conditions. Thanks for posting this video

Your welcome my friend! Be well!

Punta is what we call, funnnn!! Ripping😅

wow! 🏄‍♀️ que hivo vos 🤙🏼 enjoy #puntaroca guys 🌊 1:06

Nice video. Way better to use Mariachi music than rock music cause it is more appropriate for the feel of El Salvador,

July 1991! Weeks of empty surf. Many days only 2 or 3 of us in the water. Returned in 1992 right after the signing of the Peace Accords...a few more folks, but still uncrowded.

So was super tubes brother to an extent especially late 80’s early 90’s, problem humanity can’t stop making spawn bra

Took the train from Mexicali to the southern border, then buses through Guatemala to El Salvador, back in 1973. Hitchhiking to La Libertad at 10:00pm. Took over a shack on the point. 3 months of uncrowded Punta Roca!

Amazing man, truly fun without fights for one single wave, or waiting your turn (30 min) for example haha. Good vibes too man on that time, like a movie.

Really brings back some fine memories but it's just ridiculous now a days in season kind of like most points unfortunately Anyways always appreciate you sharing and rubbing it in lol Be well my friend and God Bless You and Yours 👍🤙

surfed there first 85, moved to playa san diego in 94, yea i'm there many years,

Não tem fim, que perfeição 🤙

hey! traveling there next week-seems like waves should be solid. Do you have any advice when it comes to accessing the wave, what boards to ride etc. I will be staying in el zonte but have a car. thanks!

Hey man! Sure! Nice That You will travel. First of all, el Zonte always will be bigger than Punta Roca. And Punta roca smaller. Punta Roca works good when is chest to x2 overhead. El zonte doesn’t work more than 8 ft because is close out. Believe me. Right now I really don’t know. How is the way for the parking because they are making a kind of public club 🙄. The locals are nice there. Short board is the best idea. If you wanna use a longboard in la Punta, better to be in the inside, ever and keeps going. When you finish the wave, specially when it’s bigger, Probably you will end in la paz ✌️ next to the pier, so be careful mate.

@@pineapplesurf thanks for the reply! I'm thinking of bringing only two board a fish and a good wave shortboard (5'11 rounded pin or similar). I heard crowds can get pretty bad at Punta Roca, is it better at some of the spots like k59/61 or mizata?

@pineapplesurf

@@matteociccozzi2385 definitely mate. Mizata is more hollow than K59. But Punta Roca wins in perfection depending of the direction of the swell of course:)

Hey man, yeah i know, if here is 50 guy, in Hawaii would be 100 :3. However sometimes in 20 foot pipe is possible to have lots of locals surfing, even thought is terrifying out there. Just the direction is crucial. Just watching people like Jaime surfing those bombs is sick!

The report said 8-10 ft but rainfalls maybe they make the wave smaller like. but honestly for el salvador it is a large size. I know that for Hawaii they are small waves

Pta Flores near mango and the town can put up a tube right at the top sometimes, and “rumor has it” that there may be other waves in that area as well. El Salvador has been through a lot but the people are good and can use the tourist business. I’ll prob go back again at some point. Especially after seeing punta firing like that :)

En el Salvador también se escucha mucho. Si bien vas a un restaurante del litoral, vienen personas a tocar musica de mariachi y otros estilos por ejemplo.

Please mix in non Ariel footage

I'm glad I surfed there in 1975 when 6 people was a crowd and Rotherham was on the point......I mostly stayed at Zunzal but ventured to PR a few times.....those were the good old days of early surfing in El Salvador.

@wellscampbell9858

4 ай бұрын

That place has so many fun setups tho. Going to PR when there’s swell is the same as any flagship break, a lot of the crowd is there because they saw it in a magazine or surf film. I’ve been to el sal many times, surfed the point a few times, and got tons of waves at many of the other setups nearby. Sounds like you won’t be out there, so that’s a start…

This country doesn’t good waves
