thanks for the answers so far. One more question.

Getting from the Trujillo airport to Chicama. I know it is about a 90 minute ride. Just take a taxi? Are there shuttles? Cost?

Hi Beavis -
You must arrange that previously first.
Preferably with the hotel you’ll be booking -
Here’s the guy that picked me up if you are going on your own.

When you mention “I just want to surf” you mean prone foiling? Prone foiling in Chicama for me it’s not an option, really strong currents, really hard to stay in the peak and you’ll be probably expelled out by the surfers and longboarders. So you’ll mainly be tow foiling which it’s the ideal to maximize your time there.

Here’s Romario = +51 973 356 045, he’s a nice guy and you can arrange with him before hand, not sure about how sending money before works, I just went and arranged all that when in Chicama.
I would recommend again - to try and arrange all this with someone you trust even better if from a hotel in Chicama so you can have options. the other guy I once posted it’s number, had some issues with some friends so I wouldn’t recommend him anymore just out of precautions.

For towing- it’s preferably to go in groups of 3 maximum IMO. 2 will be really nice but more expensive, but you’ll maximize the time- 3 it’s nice in terms of rotating the launch and pick up - 4 will lead to too much waiting on water -

Gian Carlos it’s another guy I would recommend to talk to !

I don’t understand foil travel? Foiling has freed me from the need to go anywhere. Leave it for the logs!

“Longest wave in the world” on the right day at home I can get 3 miles plus on a wave!

toomuch - better not tell anyone where that is, it may get crowded if you can take one wave 3 miles.

Omar-thanks for the info, " just wanna surf Chicama" means I am not going to be traveling around to other breaks, renting a car, or any of that other crap from past surf trips. Just one spot that provides it all.
I am trying to get the general logistics worked out before I start calling people for more specific stuff. Will be SUPfoiling, towing in, and /or winging.

For an all-inclusive easy experience…Alex and Paolo’s August trip has 2 spots left. This is who we went with in May…that’s us in the video, woohoo!

for DIY, if you stay at Chicama Boutique hotel, they have boats on retainer and arrange your boat shuttle. Have food inclusive prices if wanted (more pricy but supposed to be great, this is what the LAFC crew did).

Dolfines seems the best value hotel, cheaper than boutique but next door and great water views. Don’t know if they arrange boats etc.

I have contact info for drone guy who arranged boats for LAFC crew…DM me for info if you want.
