Puerto Escondido, when it’s big, is terrifying. It’s the heaviest beach break in the world. When Skindog says it’s “definitely the scariest wave on the planet,” you listen, because Skindog’s been in some hairy situations. Puerto’s got a little section called Hell’s Kitchen – and it’s a place where you probably can’t stand the heat. But if you get stuck in there, which is a pretty likely scenario, you’re taking bombs on the head. Big, Mexican bombs. But big risk equals big reward, right? That’s what we like to see.
