Just let me say that it's translation means Angry Sea
Description
i've lived in Ecuador my whole life. And i tell you that not many people surf at this spot because it's really dangerous, that's why it has the name it does. you better bring a pair of balls when you go there
MONTANITAS
Not many travelers make it to, or even know about, this spot on the west coast of Ecuador.
The majority head straight to the Galapagos Islands and miss this hidden spot (which wasn’t even on the map a few years ago).
There are only 1,000 locals in Montanita and they’re among the friendliest bunch of surfers we’ve met in a surf spot. After pounding right-hand breaks, get to know them during the awesome après-surf on the village’s bar strip, where you can also grab a fresh fruit cocktail or a Tibetan massage.

Heavy tubes
Description
a really hollow peak that forms up as the wave bounces and reforms off o big jetty, a really sick tube section that is fully makable by backdooring the peak. A sebastian inlet on steroids. But it can get a little crowded with the bodyboarders, there are a bunck of points to the south of here down some dirt roads, but there all secrets, you'll have to go search!
