Puerto
Escondido:
Surfing destination?
I first surfed Zicatela Point over twenty years ago. This morning there were more fishing boats in the line up than surfers. Their were three meter sets of six waves and the fisherboys had to race through the line up to keep from being swamped by the waves, or worse.
From my point of view this is childish behavior on the part of the fisherboys. Men will risk their own lives, but not at the expense of someone else's. That is the difference between fishermen and fisherboys...
Must someone be killed before the adults come forward and put a stop to this?

I
think there is just as much chance of a surfer killing another surfer
out there at the point these days. Today was down right comical to
watch as the 35+ people in the water crashed and run each other over.
Good luck getting any sympathy from the fishheads as they are out
there trying to feed their families.

My
daughter is pretty new to surfing, but she asked me the other day
"Why to people have to fish right in front of the surf line-up?"
I guess the fishermen will have to answer this one.

Unfortunately
the rocks that make the point break also create a nice feeding ground
for the fish. Looks like we're all going to have to live together
cause the fishermen are always going to come if the baitfish are
there. Best when the swell gets big and the boats get scared away.

the
fisherman know what they are doing...they always come close..a miss
is good as a mile..besides they are working out there not recreating
so how can one complain?

Visit
PXM 3 to 4 times eazh year. Walk the beaches every day and have not
seen anything like you are describing. Not doubting you, however is
this happening where Zicetala curves toward the point? Have seen a
couple of boats just out before the waves break but nothing close to
what you are describing. Perhaps they are not there before 10:00.

they
were there everyday i went to the point. they never hit anything til
they do.
they are just trying to catch fish to survive.
i had been surfing the point since 1977 but no more. shthead locals who need every wave and too many starters. they need to spread that surf rental school back along the beach.
it just isn't very good very often this time of the year. try summer.
