Great news from the AWT as another stop is added to the 2012 calendar…

With the World Tour suffering some setbacks and several events cancelled, the AWT are very happy to announce the addition of a new tour stop. The Pacasmayo Classic will be held from the 17th-26th August in Peru. As one of the longest waves ever seen, Pacasmayo promises to deliver some unbelievable conditions for the contestants and some endless wave rides. Don’t believe us? Check out the preview video below which shows the wave in all it’s glory…

The organisers have arranged some exclusive deals for the riders and free registration for female competitors, so head over to the AWT website for further details.

umi’s Peru with Kauli Seadi – Part Two

Check out the second part of a Peru trip umi Pictures undertook with Kauli Seadi in July 2010, this time sampling ‘the world’s longest wave’ at Pacasmayo.

Kauli Seadi: “At about a day’s drive of Lobitos lies Pacasmayo. Pacasmayo is a small coastal town, based on a cement works and a small fishing port. The waves there are fast, powerful and very long. They can get really big as well, but that only seems to happen a couple times a year. But the length is amazing… the wave doesn’t really run to shore, it just seems to run forever. We didn’t make an exact measurement of Pacasmayo’s length, but think about this for a second: the wave peels perfectly for more than 1500m. Maybe 2 kilometers if you can get a big swell all the way to the pier. To me it’s just the dream wave. From point-to-pier takes almost 3 minutes. Compare that to thirty six second rides at your local beach break and I know what I am going to go for! This also means fitness is more important than skill here. After just one ride your legs will explode… see for yourself in the clip!”
