Nike Expands Wave of The Winter to Puerto!
As winter fades into summer, the global storm generation moves to the Southern Hemisphere. Surfers also migrate south… to The Mexican Pipeline: Puerto Escondido’s Playa Zicatela. Easily the heaviest and most revered wave in Mainland Mexico, Puerto its a beachbreak like no other. It holds some of the largest swells around and is consistently greeted with offshore winds in the morning.
Riding off the Wave of the Winter successful two years, Surfline and Nike are pleased to announce a new competition for everyone’s favorite season. Mirroring the same concept in Hawaii, Wave of the Summer awards the single best ride of the season captured on video at Puerto Escondido. And with no shortage of local chargers and tube-hungry international talent consistently gracing Zicatela’s waters.
