Out of control
I never knew this spot had a name or was surfed or anything, but I am not suprised to see it on Wannasurf now. I was there in the winter of 1998, and this place was GIGANTIC. No one was out and the cruise ships would not leave the harbor because the swell was so big. I took a whole roll of film of it and will dig them up, scan and post the pics later. Puerto Rico is an awesome place to surf. There are so many spots all year to go to in the winter. Some of the locals absolutely rip, but there are some hard feelings there and you need to be smart when traveling around the island. Spanish, a good attitude and a willingness to charge will all help, as well as some street smarts. The girls are HOT, but if you diss one, stand by. by

You don't know what your talking about.
I live in Old San Juan, PR. I am a gringo. I have lived there for 10 years. I surf in La Perla. All the people leaving negative comments on here really hurts me. Now La Perla is a place to buy drugs. I am not going to lie about that. But it is not dangerous as long as your respect the people and know your way around. La Perla can be dangerous but not all the time. As for the surfing.. it's great when its there!

I'm Puerto Rican and La Perla along with Barrio Obrero(That's where I'm from, but not anymore) are synonymous with entering and not coming out alive. It's legendary. Anybody raised Puerto Rican with Puerto Rican culture has heard a million times about la Perla. It has only one entrance/Exit. They call it La Boca del Lobo, "The wolve's mouth" . And the guy talking about ganja and cocaine. That aint the drug of choice there, its smack/ herione. They will steal from anybody for a fix. You have to know the people there. Are you kidding me, the people that say its okay are either really lucky, (like a miracle happened to them), know the locals(and i dont mean surfers, I mean people that live there), or want you to be harmed. Plus the place is dangerous to surf.

Go in the winter, December or January time frame. Don't worry about the locals, just keep your mouth shut. I'm from PR, surfed La Perla numerous times and its pretty good. Don't bring shit, just your board.

dont listen to anybody if you really are serious about surfing go there, yes it is a hood but the people there are really cool and they don't really mess with you unless u come wi a bad attitude, i was there this summer and my girl took pictures of the "placita" the dealer broke the camera and gave her seven dollars so you tell me if they are cool or not :P

El Subi
That picture is of el Subi in La Perla, be careful not to break your neck, major backwash and close to rocky shore.
