Surfers and fishermen developed a mutual aid relationship, initially surfers bought the fish, but because they could not prepare their own fishermen's wives, they started making dishes to serve new clients and friends, and since nobody makes a better fish that a fisherman's wife the surfers were staying, at that point it was already common to see groups of surfers camping on the beach until the friendship and practicality between visitors and residents was overcome, more and more fishermen opened their doors to receive visitors who come to spend the evenings on weekends and make the most of the place with the surf and the seafood-based cuisine.
