Fishermen take to the sea early in the morning to see what they can catch. The mix of fish they come back with don't have much value in larger markets. They're usually sold to people on the beach when they return, in smaller local markets, or kept for their families. Because it can't earn a living, many of their children and grandchildren are not following suit, in favor of better jobs.
Traditional fishermen and modern surfers often share the same waves at Huanchaco's beaches.
