WATERMEN CREW: CHICAMA PERU SURF TRIP

Let’s state the obvious here, this is one wave you’ll dream about forever and our crew is stoking to surf it. Chicama is best known for having the longest wave in the world, then you can mosey over to Pico Alto for one of the biggest waves in the world, not a bad place huh? Don’t even get us started on the food there, ceviche for days… Maybe not the “American Dream” but sure as heck the “Watermen Dream”.

We’ll land in Lima take a jumper flight to Trujillo, and by that time the froth sets in. Once we are in Trujillo we hitch a ride to Chicama, the trip usually takes around 45 minutes, give or take how hungry we are. Start the days off with some eggs and bacon, hop on the zodiac and surf until your thighs are too sore to move.

Why do we do this to our bodies? Why do we travel to the ends of the earth all for a wave? Honestly, I couldn’t tell you, but here at Watermen we are hooked on that feeling. That feeling of adventure and being in the ocean, and what better way to travel than with your favorite crew? Maybe we could do without Ryan, since he is notorious for snaking waves.

Next month’s newsletter will have some pictures from our trip. I imagine a few stories of mishap and casualties, more than anything tales of one of the best waves around the world. But for now, we will leave you at the edge of your seat wanting more…

Towel Changes: A Thing of the Past

Towel Changes: A Thing of the Past

Oct 28, 2016 | compression shorts, Watermen, Watermen Shorts

The Watermen's SoulBeing in and out of the water is a basic necessity of the watermen lifestyle. Although, we are most comfortable when we are in the water it is always nice to get out of your wet gear at the end of your long, salty session. Unless, you just surfed Black’s Beach and stripped down to your birthday suit, the towel change is something you have wrestled with when trying to get changed into your dry clothes. The Original Watermen boarshort liner  is our solution to making the towel change a thing of the past.

The Watermen compression shorts for men provides you with so many benefits that it is easy to overlook the fact that it makes life so much easier when you get out of the water and need to change. The Watermen Shorts are boardshort liner that can be worn under your wetsuit, boardshort, or even on their own. They are rapid drying which allows you to stay comfortable and dry for extended sessions.

Imagine pulling up to a perfect a-framing, head high glassy wave. Everyone jumps out of the car on red alert, scrambling to throw on their wetsuits and grab the first wave before the masses find out the waves are firing. The froth levels are high and the boys are fighting over the one towel you all brought to share. You smirk to yourself because you have your watermen shorts on already and know you’ll be the first to claim a wave. You seamlessly slip into your wetsuit, grab your board, and paddle out the back. After your first perfect wave, you look into the shore and see that your buddies are finally getting their act together after their towel wrangle and are finally joining you in the surf.

Be on the fish, waves, and workouts first in the fast drying, warm, and comfortable Watermen compression shorts. Don’t let the towel change bog your session. First in, last out and most importantly Earn Your Salt!
