Chicama is known as one of the longest waves in the world, some call it the longest and in addition to that there is a strong current that runs from South to North that makes it almost impossible to paddle back the point break, for that we offer We offer a tow back service with our Zodiacs from the end of the wave back to the takeoff.

These are the signals we use.
Our Boat Captains: Our boat captains are really good local surfers that have been trained and certified in driving boats in stormy seas and in rescue techniques. Please, follow their instructions, they know more about the surf and dangers of the place than you do.
Paddling out to Surf and Boat picks ups: The boat drivers will pick you up after you paddle out and pass the waves, they will not pick you up where the waves break neither near the shore. They will only do so if it’s an emergency.
Boat Ride Back to the Point Break: When you surf a wave and want to be picked up and be taken back to the point break, you will have to paddle out of the area where the waves are breaking, it is dangerous to put the boats there, we will only do it in an emergency.
Waiting for the Boat to pick you up: When you are waiting for the boat, please, be patient, the boat will come to pick you up, our security personnel is in constant contact by radio with our boat drivers. Boats con only carry 5 surfers + the driver, please wait four your turn it will come.
Taking a Wave after the boat Drop Off: Remember there are surfers waiting for a wave before you arrive to the Point Break with the boat. It is not good “Surf Etiquette” to get there and just take a wave, wait until the other surfers waiting before you get a wave. There will be always a good wave for you, show your respect!
