Puerto Escondido is a big-wave playground

The Mexican beachbreak goes big for some of the world's bravest surfers.

No one is more equipped to document all the action than Edwin Morales, longtime Puerto Escondido local, photographer and filmer. Edwin's seen it all out there, and what you have above is only the beginning of what's to come from surfing's most feared beach break.
