Chickens (Todos Santos Island)

Isla Todos Santos, Mexico
🏝️Remote🪨Rocks😮‍💨Hold-downs

Chickens is the more forgiving big wave option on Isla Todos Santos, offering a step up in size without the life-threatening consequences of Killers. The wave provides quality rights in the 15-foot range, making it accessible to experienced surfers looking to push their limits without going full-send on the main peak. It's often where surfers warm up before paddling over to Killers.
