Heavy left. Need to be perfect to riddeable. Intendencia is a short wave. If you wipe out, you're dead. The drop is almost impossible to make. This spot is specially good for bodyboarding, but is also good for surfing.
Overview
Atmosphere
Some people say that Intendencia is like Teahupoo but at a small scale. The danger is similar though.

dangerous
You cant' tell from the beach (the road actually) how powerull is the wave. It's hard to find the right sopt for the line up. The wave suck so much water and the lip is so massive that you can feel the vibration of the impact when you are in the water. The most intense wave I have ever surf, not for beginners

Iquique
Lots of spongers in this city and the bad thing is that they are pretty damn good due to the good,hollow waves. They sit in a pack at most of the breaks (shoulder to shoulder) right on the peak and it's hard to get the set waves. Not as uncrowded as people think here. Get up early and you will score though.
