Tres Palmas...

Yes, I have spent several hours during the past few days looking at this wave in Rincon. It is absolutely spectacular and can hold the biggest swells in the island (and possibly this entire side of the Atlantic Ocean)

Check out the link below for some pictures: First off, you'll see a ton of local Bodyboarders at Crashboat Beach in Aguadilla. Then the monstrous wave you see is Tres Palmas, looking about quadruple or quintuple overhead. The surfers who are on the wave have obviously been towed into the wave by Jetski as one can see how early they have gotten into the wave. Even though they rode slightly smaller waves, the guys who paddled in may have been even more impressive, as they had to drop all the way from the top.. absolutely amazing stuff.

And if you're still interested, this is another excellent link with pictures of the tow in surfers at Tres Palmas.
