Sebastian reports from South america:
Punta lobos point break in Chile got world recognition in 2006 when footage appeared of local charger Diego Medina paddeling in to some huge waves . He later that year won the big wave xxl billabong award.

When i  arrived at the crack of dawn to Punta lobos, standing at the top of the cliffs looking out i was greeted by an empty long reeling left hander. Now the big question was how to get out to the peak..
I ended up paddeling through a channel of seaweed, surging water and white wash and climbing up on  small island and walking across it and jumping in from the side between a set.
In the bottom turn of my first wave i look up and realize its double over head. Never judge abook by its cover, or a wave standing on at the top of a cliff he he..

With seagulls and seals and sealions and icecream headaches and super long waves Chile lived it up!
