Thanks to the crew for an epic trip. Asu is a truly great wave and is well worth the mission. The camp is fantastic and the food very good too. If you want uncrowded waves then look no further. Thanks guys, Baz
By Fernando
Great camp for surfing and diving. Marcelo the manager was a great host too. Food was top notch for such an isolated location. Excellent waves and some varied options, certainly would recommend a trip to Puri Asu.
By Pete Bates
One of the best places that I've been in this world, good food and good people. Big thanks to Marcelo who took care of us like a brother.
