Popoyo Outer Reef- April 2014

Located near Casa Ensueno in Rancho Santana. Popoyo Outer Reef delivers a world class wave that challenges even the best surfers. This is the first solid south swell of 2014.

[@fredpg]

I spent several months in Popoyo in 1999 and 2000, hardly anyone in sight. The waves to ourselves, offshore winds all day everyday! Attempting the outer reef never even crossed my mind though, way too gnarly for my level.

I live here and have photographed this spot for four years, it's an awesome break!

[@jaimebustos2546]

Do you Really? That's so interesting...Very Cool!

[@markrosenquist8259]

Wow! That’s a sick wave! Looks like Cloudbreak. 🙌🔥🤙

[@cito2316]

Someone i surf with quite often is in this. Red hair with the volcom sticker on his nose. Andrew. Such a great surfer.

[@itsweirdinherehobs7362]

that wipeout at 0:36 is the best!! No hands out, just take it head on!

[@A-FrameWedge]

Itsweirdinhere hobs That was weird.

[@SabrinaDacosta]

Oh my gosh!! At 0:41 would be the best pic!!

[@lyndonreddick1888]

That's called the flying dead man. And on your back!

[@jamespage1680]

I was surfing this day, only got 2 mid size ones… 3rd wave I snapped my board,… amazing day

[@3eyesopen]

Red boards perform really well down there.

[@johnanthonycafe2993]

This wave is almost identical to a reef break off Southern NSW in Australia

[@existace]

that looks like real fun. I should try it some time.

[@anf355]

great vid, thanks

[@scottsullivan3362]

I wish I was 30 years younger

[@mmggaa123]

I wish I was 50 years younger. 😂

[@carlchristensen1628]

Yeah! Like the music too.

[@jeffcrego]

nice edit buddy! good job

[@neojazzer]

@ 2.00 mins, finally someone makes it!

[@kerryemmerson9845]

Looks like a filling tide making things more doable there.

[@marcusteblano6376]

How often does this place break? I was at the Popoyo main break on a substantial long period swell and the outer reef wasn't even peaking, let alone breaking.

[@chilly333]

Spring is when it gets the biggest and late July into august Is also really good

[@jacobsakcat9189]

fast as hell

[@calmstormambience1875]

0:40 ouch that's crazy, you got to make the pocket or else!

[@lyndonreddick1888]

Appears to be kind of a gnarly wave. Everyone's eating it. Well, not everyone! Awesome barrel- like Hawaii-50!

[@rebel-yell9453]

The beginning looked like low tide, I've ridden stuff like that on a 5'2" fish with a wide swallow tail, makes it a little more challenging. Love the fact that it's a WARM water wave, wetsuits SUCKKKK!!!

[@Nofishnoclue]

I really don't mind wetsuits they make me feel more boyuant and there has been times when I have hit shallow reefs and shredded my suit, if I hadn't a suit on it would been my skin

[@xDreadheadx]

Looks fast asf 🤠

[@johnrflinn]

Tide height must really effect the wave characteristics.

[@jontakaki503]

Does anyone know if the right at Popoyo surfable too, on a big day?

[@beldendemecilio8219]

☀️🌴🌺 Solid Surf Action 👍💪👌

[@alienal8278]

Wonder what it was like at Ollie’s around the corner

[@bido8176]

Was that a mannequin at 0:40? Wow 😮. This wave is heavy

[@clarkewi]

Looks like Fiji. How shallow?

[@robertotrejos1906]

[@surferdude8086]

I should of went there instead of Play Negra in 1998 99 & 00. I got Negra triple overhead by myself in 98 but the other two years sucked.

[@charlieboudreau1860]

Shit i hitched hiked place that place in the 70s wowwww

[@markkelly1775]

good tunes for once

[@ichorousmedia]

either need to backdoor or drag like hell on the face to get a cover up, except for the occasional end section. Looks like a fast drop

[@xqrtts]

Three letters...........WOW great!!!!

[@travisguide4516]
