Whenever you open any type of anti-social media, you get bombed with- what look like – perfect waves. Yet we all know- or should remember, that to get to this seemingly perfect moment, a lot of hard work needs to be done. The brutal paddle, the early wake up, the sets on the head, these are all not on the picture! Take these pictures from Barranco. Obviously they are the type of wave every surfer will enjoy. Shoulder high with a nice face and staying open. Barranco is a fickle spot, the tide, direction, height and period of the swell all play in huge factors. Add the horrible road to get there. Today we get the bay almost private. By no means an easy surf. Big sets closing out over the whole bay. Rewards waiting on the inside on the medium sized waves. Again, its just not as easy as it looks!
