I know it’s not really profiled as a shore-break, but this Mexican big-wave spot is legit like 10-20 metres from people tanning on the sand. As a bit of a shorey lover, I’m going to claim that Puerto Escondido is more of a shore-break compared to a beach-break. At least find me in the middle and we can call it a hybrid?
Anyone who’s surfed a semi-solid shorey before knows how ridiculous it would be to be out there when it’s 15 -20 feet. Some serious injuries can go down. This didn’t fear Nathan and Ivan Florence who are filmed charging in the clip. I reckon Nate will have sand in his insides for weeks after that wipeout around the 40-second mark.
Enjoy!
