Novelty
It was a super fun & beautiful experience. I am a strong swimmer, but a beginner surfer and it was great to try surfing in Chile. The water here is super cold due to Antarctic water brought up by the Humboldt current. They provide you with great wetsuits, but be prepared for very cold water. Don’t try this if you aren’t used to swimming in the sea though.
