    Luuk Leeuwenstein from Netherlands
    “La Punta is supposed to be a great spot off season for surfers practicing their green wave catches and turns. Indeed the conditions for this are great, but the water is full of surfing "instructors" who people pay to aggressively reserve space in the line up and push beginners who should be surfing white wash into the wave. They do not follow any etiquette and the vibe in the water is really bad.”
