CHIMUWAVES Surf Jewelry

The history of surfing in Peru goes back to the Indian culture (“Inca”) of the Mochica and Chimu.

These two tribes, settled in the northern part of the country, lived near the coast.
Their fishermen made the so-called “Caballitos de Totora” (“reed horse”).
Small boats with which you could master the strong tide and ebb fluctuations, and not least the big waves.

The name “Caballito” (little horse) probably goes back to the fisherman's sitting posture, which resembles a rider, while “de Totora” is derived from the “reed” plant used for construction.

Chimuwaves are first-generation surfers, this form of surfing is over 2000 years old.
The Caballito de Tortora was made by the Huanchaco Indians (artists and fishermen in northern Peru).
Jewelry such as surfer necklaces or shell necklaces are widespread in northern Peru.

Most of the year the weather is very hot and surfers wear them as amulets in the water.
Women usually wear anklets and bracelets, after swimming they can wear them on the beach and outdoors.
