Informations supplémentaires
English (Traduisez ce texte en Français): Good, big and powerful wave, they call this spot, the chilean Pipe.El Gringo works only in the morning due to the wind in the area. The left is short but very fast and hollow. The right is longer but less fast and not that hollow.The right holds bigger swells than the left.

- I don't see why people would want to rush to a place that's cold and the wave is super heavy. It's not for everyone and not my idea of fun.

Exposure=crowds - Face it, wether the spot was well known before or wasnt, it definetly wasnt a secret spot for sure, the fact is that is received an incredible amount of exposure this last week. Just look at the dates of the comments post for this spot. There were a little more than a handful of comments from 2005 to April 2007. Then in just 3-4 months, there are more than 3 times the number of posts, all having to do with this contest. It will take a little bit of time for this spot to mature with crowds, it wont happen overnight (though it could if it becomes the wave of choice for the Brazilian traveling surf community - no disrespect, but they travel DEEP with friends). However, days of when you paddled out there with under 5 people are quickly going to come to an end and thats that. And IMO, thats a shame, but who cares what you and I think, you cant undo whats been done and frankly so what. The surf industry and surfing in general has become so comercialized and image driven, you can buy into it from a Pez dispenser. Just be happy that the wave is too much for 99% of you out there, so its no direct loss to you.Peace
