When an extraordinary wave rider meets one of the longest left-handers in the world, the result is simply hypnotizing. In this video, James Carew takes us to Peru, to discover Pacasmayo, a legendary spot that makes all board riding enthusiasts dream.
Australian by origin, James Carew has become one of the most respected wave kitesurfers in the world in just a few years. Nicknamed "Storm Carew", he has built a reputation by taking on legendary spots like Nazaré in Portugal, known for its liquid monsters. Always seeking adrenaline, he constantly pushes his limits, whether in XXL waves or on infinite lines like those at Pacasmayo.
Located in the La Libertad region, Pacasmayo is a name that resonates like a promise for surf and kite lovers. Its iconic jetty and geographical configuration offer, when conditions align, endless left-handers that can exceed 2 minutes of riding.
It's a demanding and capricious wave, but when it awakens, it becomes a liquid highway for riders capable of exploiting its full potential.
In this video, James Carew shows us all the finesse of his style: perfect wave reading, precise positioning, and optimal use of wind power to stay as close as possible to the section.
We see him chain powerful turns and speed recoveries, taking full advantage of the exceptional length of the wave. The impression of fluidity is such that the viewer feels carried away with him, as if they too were gliding on this Peruvian wall of water.
Pacasmayo is not just a spot: it's an immersion. The village atmosphere, the golden light of the coast, and especially the feverish anticipation of good conditions create a unique atmosphere.
For James Carew, it's also a return to the very essence of kitesurfing: finding the perfect wave, fully committing to it, and savoring every second.
