Pacasmayo Windsurf Holidays

Pacasmayo in Northern Peru is home to the longest wave in the world, and in our opinion, is the best windsurfing spots on the planet! You can find bigger waves in places like Maui and Mauritius, but in terms of reliability and perfect set up it really does not get much better. Imagine set after set after set rolling and peeling for almost 1 km - normally the first thing to give out are your legs, not the wave. You can probably do more bottom turns on a week's holiday to Pacasmayo than you have done in your life. The waves here are perfectly formed but do not carry much power so super easy. This is a great location for surfers who want independent wind to start sailing into the wave. The only problem is once you have been here nothing else is as good!
