The most famous Chicama, known to be the longest wave in the world is unfortunately not really rideable with a kite as the off-shore winds are shadowed by the beautiful and impressive cliffs facing the wave. However, you still may see Cristian, a local rasta kitesurfer, also famous for training surfing dogs, kitesurfing the end of the wave, near to the peer and even do some downwinders up north.
