The central Pacific coast is the heart-pounding nirvana of the surfing community. As summer arrives, surfers take their boards and head out in quest of waves that will test their prowess. Which spot comes to mind when such a situation arises? The enormous barrels and unbroken, continuous waves, perhaps a soothing breeze just make up for the humid season.

Recently, a young surfer found his perfect surf spot where the waves spit like dragons and are so strong they may easily destroy surfboards and even human bones. When a record of his encounter was posted on social media, a mixed response came from the internet.

Here is how surfing an explosive wave unfolded

A multi-sport fanatic Jon Chaconas attempted to face a sudden rise of humongous Pascuales waves located in the state of Colima, Mexico. Unable to decide, the surfer opted to jump bidding adieu to his surfboard and giving way to the massive surge. A video of his action was posted on Instagram by @surfinglatino, with the caption, “ Terrible wipeout from @jonchaconas yesterday in Pascuales(head blown emoji)”

The waves were barbaric, and there was no time for reflection or a second to correct a mistake. While many tourists assert that they test their mettle, others stick to the sound of crashing waves near the shore. The waves in Pascuales, depending on the tide, can easily reach heights of 15 to 20 feet on a good surfing day. For comparison, professional surfers in Pipeline events rides have an average wave height of 9 to 20 feet.

Surfing tragedy leaves the internet in a frenzy

Several individuals entered the comment section after analyzing the adventure in Mexico to voice their opinions on the surfer’s unique jump. An observant commenter said, “His line pulled him up the face as the wave jacked up, lifting higher on the face… Ejected but alas, couldn’t punch through that thick lip sending the brave man over the falls.” Someone labeled it saying, “That’s unfortunate timing.” Another asked the question, “Why was that decision?” 

A commenter simply wrote, “No one escapes the tube.” While another blamed the location saying, “That is Pascuales …… Just saying.” A description of the scene read, “That’s a scary and so dangerous wipeout.” Someone pointed out “Like that wave was fuckin mad at him.” A naysayer wrote, “That’s what happens when you dodge the barrel.” While a supporter of the surfer came out saying, “Jon is an animal, he wanted the punish the wave for sucking up to quickly. Also, he’s a beast on a skateboard.” Another one had his back and said, “Sometimes fear makes us make the worst decisions.”

As the thick, hollow Mexican waves await their next visitor, do you think the surfer could have escaped the waves?
