Kuna An Access |
| |
In Panama, Go to San Blas by plane to Cartí, by Car new road use a 4x4 Full equiped or by yatch, stay at the last island, Wichupupoo Pee pee, talk to the Kuna, they know where the big waves are.
In the island, stay in a tend or camping, bring everything, either a doctor if you can, swim or rent a small canoa, they throw you on the reef break , then swim, a lot or walk over the coral.
From the island you can see from very far away waves breaking all the way , chechk the spot looking to your right to the open ocean, if there is a ENE or Ne swell average from 4 feet plus, then you will see long rights breaking.
Donīt get confuse, it seems small, but when you get in, the wave is World Class, we surfed for the first time one week ago, on the morning 4 to 6 feet, on the afternoon, 9 plus huge waves.
They break over the coral and then rolls in to open ocean, Perfect Open Barrels for only experienced surfers. |
