PRS i like the shot thru the buildings with the satelite dishes.
sweet perspective.
I scored some rights at gas chambers one day, but we were totally para's about our vehicle since the local boys were scoping the gringos./
we were so sun burnt we stood out like sore thumbs.
I got a sweet backwash barrel , and slammed into the cliff a few times.
super scketchy, the whole thing, the surf spot , the scene , the locals.

Puerto Rico Picts April 18th/2005

Picts above are of Gas Chambers at 6:30 AM waves 6 foot and noone out. I had it all to myself for 2 hours :D then a pack of jerks showed up, stayed another 20 mins but they were pissing me off beside the tide was changing and the wave wasnt breaking as good anymore. So decide to head up the coast to a different spot, called WISHING WELL.

Driving to Wishing Well, a semi secret spot, due to the fact you have to know where to turn off the main road and what dirt off road to take.

Wishing Well at 9AM well maybe its not so secret :( The next 2 photos are looking up and down the coast.

Heading out isnt a major problem even though you have to pick your way over an urchin infested reef with a no sand entry or exit, its getting out of the water thats a bitch. You have to time it just right or the white water will wash you up on the dry reef leaving everyone on shore laughing their asses off your pride hurt, board dinged, not to mention the urchin spines your going to be digging out tonight.

Noon time surf is well into the DOH range, YIPEE!!! In the circle is a guy that dropped in late but made it around the section and then pulled under the lip and made it out of the tube.

Heading home 2 1/2 hour drive across the island---satisfied.

Yeah its the same swell, but the angle of the swell made it so it didnt hit us with the same force it did FL. I mean Tres Palmas never even really started to break and Marias and Dogmans never got bigger than 4-6 foot. (The swell had to much North/ North East in it). But Wilderness and other North facing spots got up to 12 - 15 foot faces with a few bombs.
