surfing in Chile
  About a zillion miles of coast-line from El Gringo in the north, to the frigid antarctic waters of the south...
The water is pretty cold everywhere all-year, due to the Humbolt Current; but go explore and you'll find pristine beaches and empty line-ups.

Geographic coordinates: 30 00 S, 71 00 W
Coastline: 6,435 km
Climate: temperate; desert in north; Mediterranean in central region; cool and damp in south

el gringo
the best wave in the northern on chile is definitely El Gringo. With a tubular wave...ah mejor en espaņol. una ola q corre tanto a derecha como a izquierda ( la mejor) y peligrosas rompientes, es una de las mas temibles. los invito a arica city a disfrutar de sus buenas olas. aloha
