Pichilemu - Cool Surf Spot

Pichilemu is a sweet surf spot on the beach 4 hours outside Santiago. It is the favored surfing location for much of the Chilenos that reside in the Santiago Area, Region Metropolitana. Punta Lobos (Wolves Point) is where the best of the best hop in the waters in search of big waves. The name comes from the sea lions that gather on the rocks. In Spanish they are called Sea Wolves. Its scary to surf off in between a bunch of rocks on your way to the break. In bad weather you risk smashing against large rocks just attempting to get in the ocean.

Pichilemu es el spot perfecto para surfear. Esta playa queda a 4 horas de Santiago. Es el lugar preferido por surfistas chilenos. Punta Lobos, tambien conocido como las Tetas, es donde los mejores surfistas saltan al agua en busca de grandes olas. El nombre viene de los Lobos de Mar que se reunen en las rocas. Da miedo saltar al agua entre un monton de rocas. En mal tiempo corres el riesgo de reventar contra las rocas, con erizos de mar incluidos.

The beach has a skate ramp to skateboard first and get hot, then surf some waves to cool down. Its amazing, surf and skate in the same spot.

La playa tiene una rampla de Skate. Primero andar en Skate para entrar en calor despues te vas a surfear unas olas para refrescarse un rato. Increible, surfear y andar en Skate en un mismo lugar. 

Life in Chile for a Gringo

First of all I'm a gringo living in Santiago, Chile. I am married to a Chilena (Chilean women are hot). I am also a professional snowboarder and filmmaker. I first came to Chile on a snowboarding trip to South America three years ago and am currently here for my 4th time. Its been rough learning Spanish, since I didn't have great motivation to learn before I decided to visit. But I am currently taking Spanish classes in el centro(downtown) and will attempt to add a bit of spanish to help you learn as I progress in my knowledge, speaking skills, and vocabulary. A main goal of this blog will be to relate the experience of what life is like in Chile, and some obsevations from a foregner's point of view. Since I am a professional filmaker in action sports, I will add numerous videos and photos to give rich detail of what life here is truly like.

*Added Bonus: This won't be boring like 99% of blogs out there. There's always something new to see in Chile.

Primero que nada, soy un gringo viviendo en Santiago de Chile. Estoy casado con una chilena (las mujeres chilenas estan muy lindas). Hago snowboard de forma profesional y filmo peliculas de deportes de accion. Vine por primera vez a Chile un invierno hace tres años y esta ya es mi cuarta vez en Chile. Es difícil aprender español, especialmente porque no tenia gran conocimiento y motivación antes de venir a Sudamérica. Actualmente estoy tomando clases de español en Santiago centro. El principal motivo de este blog es describir mis experiencias de vida en chile, y como soy  un videografo de deportes extremos profesional agregare muchas fotos y vídeos para mostrar todo mejor.
