Close to the surf

Posted on 2013/05/182013/05/18by admin

After one night up in the mountain we are finally back on the coast again 😉 The place we are staying at now is probably the hostels closest to the surf I ever stayed at. It literally breaks against the hostel and the surf is just out there. Erica snapped the surf photos sitting in the hammock. She might actually enjoy taking photos from now on 🙂

After the surf I walked up and down the beach taking photos. The house on the cliff might be our future house if the price is right 😉 I also meet this guy who collected oysters. Hi sells them to restaurants for 10$ a dozen, and he had oysters worth about 30$ when he came in. For El Salvador that’s a really good income for two hours work.

Erica haven´t been surfing since we got to El Salvador, but yesterday she went out twice. During high-tide the river mouth close to our hostel works really great. I tried to go out and catch some waves myself, but I tell you that Erica did a lot better then me 😉

Well at least I had some sick rides earlier in the morning. Ill make sure to make a movie soon again with all the new material I got.

Las Peñitas

Posted on 2013/05/042013/05/04by admin

Now we are at a place called Las Peñitas. We ended up going here with a cab any way. The taxi driver gave us a good deal and we couldn´t say no 😉 When we first got here the waves didn´t look to good, so we just walked around and snapped some photos.

The next morning when Erica and I cruised down to the beach, the waves still didn´t look that good. After breakfast a local surfer called Alex who I talked to the day before stopped by and told me that the waves were better now. Probably the first time a local guy picked me up to go surfing. The spirit were really good out in the water and the waves weren´t that bad. Tomorrow ill bring the cameras down.

Jellyfish

Posted on 2013/04/28by admin

When I paddled out this morning it felt like something hurt. Half way out I saw that the ocean was full of jellyfishes, and when I say full I mean like hundred thousand plus. I thought they would disappear at the lineup, but no. When the wave broke a stroke of jellyfishes went over the fall every time. Since I paddled out without a t-shirt or a rashguard I lasted for about 15 minutes. The result is that my body looks like I fall asleep in anthill. Erica just put on some cortisone lotion all over me. Ill guess I’ll see in the morning if it worked or not.

The good news is that Erica got some good photos of me yesterday, surfing the break next to Popoyo. Not any good barrels so far, but I am working on it. I have been surfing with a couple of guys from Spain and South Africa, and they sure know how to catch a barrel. Maybe tomorrow is the day for me 😉
