Caplina
Edit SpotAbout
Heavy, out there for the brave.
Atmosphere:
Well heaviest lip around, breaks on top of a sunken boat, you could probably call it artificial, be careful no one knows exactly what's underneath the wave.
Additional Info:
Well paddle hard, you have to be in a great condition, also mentally, and hold on to your b@alls because you might just loose them.

Go to la Herradura and instead of going to the point walk 100 yards north until you get near Salto del Fraile, get in where there is a peak with the heaviest lip of Lima.
