Guatemala – Paredon

After some more days of travelling and a night in Escuintla Erica and I finally arrive to Paredon a small fishing village in Guatemala. We are staying in a two floor bungalow with a perfect ocean view. The only thing we are waiting for now is the waves. Last night was a night off thunderstorms rain and wind, so the water is still a bit rough after that.
Well i guess I can´t complain since the surf actually starts to look better now 😉

Offshore wind and small barells

Two days ago Erica and I left Santa Teresa for Avellans. Before we left Erica had a last surf

We got to Avellanas late in the afternoon after driving for about five hours. Since Avellanas is a bit off we stopped at a supermarket and bought food for a week.

The next morning when we went for our daily beach time, (Erica takes a walk and I surf) I scored perfect small little waves. The photos bellow are from the next morning but the waves were still okey 😉 Since Erica is such a good surf photographer I bought here a mango smoothie later to sip on during the sunset

South of Santa Teresa

The last week in Santa Teresa the swell has been to big for what the beach can handle. That means that the waves close out a lot. When the swell turned south one morning Giovanni, the owner of the hostel brought me to a point break south of Santa Teresa. It was a nice drive there and we past one of Mel Gibson houses which was located on a top of the hill half way there. We went there when the tied were getting low, and when we got there a sometime perfect right went off. Giovanni and I paddled out and Erica acted photographer for the first time on this trip. God job girl!!!

A afternoon in Santa Teresa

Now when we spent a couple of days in Santa Teresa everything starts to become everyday. Every morning we wake up at about 6 or 7 am. We cruise down to the beach, Erica takes a morning walk and I’ll go surfing. After that we head back to the hostel for some breakfast. It couldn’t be a better start of the day. After that he rest of the day is just beach time and surfing if the waves are still good. Yesterday afternoon I brought the camera for the sunset and this is we captured.

Santa Teresa – The start

After many hours of traveling Erica and I finally got to Costa Rica. Everything we have planed have worked so far, even though we were very close to miss hour flight in New York.
We spent the night in San José after 26 hours of traveling. The next morning we were picked at the hotel and went with shuttle the last couple of hours. The pictures you see is from the ferry to tambor, my new board and the first surf 🙂

Got the tickets

Its been a while since I surfed last time. About three months to be exact! There ara many reasons why. Mostly because of school and work but also because of the cold winter the last two months. But there is one more reason…. I have bee saving for this:

biljetter

The trip is going to start on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, and end somewhere in California three months later. Our plan is to take the bus all the way through Central America along the coastline. Roughly like the map below.

Travel plans

A couple of months ago I started to work out for the trip, to assure that I would be in great shape when Erica and I arrive there. Most of the posts the next two months before the trip are going to be about me getting in “surf shape” and what preparations that are necessary before a trip like this. So stay tuned. I will try to keep the blog updated as often as I can

Some old photos from Consta Rica, Tamarindo

Just found some of my old photos from my Costa Rica trip some rears ago. In a few months Erica and I will be there once again.

At the moments I am in the middle of my finals. I am doing my last final this Saturday. The light in the darkness is that Lars and I going to the Canary Islands this Sunday or Thursday. The swell looks super good!!!
