Top ten rides of the 2012 Wave of the Summer season in Puerto Escondido

By: Mike Cianciulli

Update: Click here for the photo and video slideshow

Around this time of year, we tend to look back and ask where did summer go? It seems like just yesterday Oscar Moncada caught a hollow eight-footer and kicked off the Wave of the Summer presented by Nike event in Puerto Escondido.

But it's actually been a long three months filled with hurricanes, wipeouts, callouts, broken boards, broken bodies and barrels, plenty of barrels -- which is why everyone flocks to Playa Zicatela in the first place.

This Saturday, the Wave of the Summer winning ride will be announced, as well as the season's Overall Performance Award. But first, let's check out the judges' top ten nominees, in chronological order.

“Super Value - The Best In Mexico!!”

Reviewed 31 August 2012 via mobile

As we arrived we were greeted by the man himself Daniel, our extremely friendly, always happy and always helpful host, along with his very welcoming staff! With the intention of only staying 2 nights we were won over, not only by the views, but by the great rates that Brisa Marina offered for long stay guests and we ended up staying for 2 weeks! Brisa Marina provides a choice of rooms depending on your budget. The rooms were clean and secure with personal safes and each room was screened with mosquito mesh (and ours had en-suite). If you are two or more we would highly recommend staying for a week or more if you have the time to get the best value!thank you for such a memorable part of our trip, Emma & Shane
