Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Chicama is the longest wave in the world.

The left runs for three kilometers and surfing it normally requires tipping a local boat driver to ferry you out the back to avoid your arms turning to jello.

Watch Laird Hamilton, big-wave, foil pioneer, and golfboarder feel the lactic acid burn in this drone clip with very intense music.
