Like seemingly everybody else in the world, one of the main goals of the trip was to document the wave from above with a drone. With strong and persistent offshore winds, it's a tricky place to fly. When we first arrived, some locals told us that a group had been there a week before and crashed their quad copter into the surf. Luckily we had a Y6 and managed to survive the gusty winds.
Purveyors of all things aquatic, the team at Waterlust recently explored Puerto Malabrigo, Peru, home to what some consider to be the longest wave in the world. The break itself, known as Chicama, is a freakishly long left-hand point that can deliver rides for well over two minutes.
