What is wrong with ecuadorian waves??
People I am from the North Peruvian Coast, but at the moment I am living in Australia. I am thinking do a holiday trip to my country in the end of this year.
It'll be a good ocassion to meet my mates again, and we (bodyboarders) have though to do a surftrip trought all central and north Ecuadorian coast in January 2009....but now with these news....is it really worth at the time of the year??? Mompiche, San Mateo, Manta, Puerto Cayo y Montanitas...lo mejor??????
Cayo-San Jose-San Lorenzo
Hello i am bodyboarder from the city of Manta, i have been doing it for the last 15 years and i have surfed up and down the ecuadorian coast so i know it pretty well. I have to say this,yes waves here are not world class like Indo, Hawaii, Australia and so on unless you go to Galapagos Island, but it gets perfect everyday or at least 70 % of the time during the winter season from december to may and is worth it, you get beachbreaks, pointbreaks, reefbreaks lefts and rights you name it with no winds, no crowds during week days and normal crowd on weekends. So i disagree with the guy that said the a surf trip is not worth to pay to Ecuador, True not for that price that this guys from wavehunter charge with that kind of money i will expect at least Indo; but you need somebody that treat you the real way, let you know the places to eat for little money, let you know the secret spots that let me tell you they do exist, and show you the real Ecuador so you make your whole trip unforgetable. If you do not believe me that is okey more fun for me and my friends and if you do come here we will respect you if you show the same. No waves no fun.

i didnt make sense
Yeah sorry,what I meant was that the ecuador mainland is super consistant surf wise but in a wave range that averages 2-6 feet,and those conditions and breaks do not require or really deserve the infastructure of a surf charter..Especially a charter that is asking alot of cash for some extremely basic info........They may claim they are totally on it and have secret spot info etc etc but anybody with a smile and a neck that can bend 90%degress seaward from the route del sol has got it sussed......Cayo can get great but absolutely noway is it worldclass,absolutely not,especially when a boat ride can take you to the right that raps around the island 8kms south .........then the waves between montanita and lopez that cant be seen from the roads,every single local knows where they are and there all fairly simple to find...I dont mean to come accross like a fuckwit and Im totally open to critisicm or an alternate opinion.
