Close to the surf

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.

Improvements

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 😉

Las Peñitas

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 couldnÂŽt say no 😉 When we first got here the waves didnÂŽt 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 didnÂŽt 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 werenÂŽt that bad. Tomorrow ill bring the cameras down.

Jellyfish

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 😉

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!!!

Surf trippen till Pismo

Nu har jag Àntligen fÄtt ordning pÄ alla bilderna frÄn vÄrat Àventyr frÄn förra helgen.

Jag och Ryan började helgen med att dra ner till Ventura pĂ„ fredag kvĂ€ll och surfa C-Street. VĂ„gorna var inte jĂ€tte bra men det var massa delfiner och nĂ„gra valar ute sĂ„ det var ju iaf trevligt. Martin, Spencer, Ryan och jag lĂ€mnade sedan SB tidigt pĂ„ lördag morgon efter att kikat in Hendry’s som var helt platt. Vi drog till Jalama för andra gĂ„ngen. Första gĂ„ngen vi var dĂ€r kom vi dit precis nĂ€r vĂ„gorna “slutade vara bra”.

Denna gÄngen hade vi mera tur och efter den ca 1,5h lÄnga bilturen till Jalama sÄ möts vi av perfecta vÀnstrar med nÀstan inget folk i vattnet. Fick oss en riktigt bra surf med formodligen det bÀsta vÀnstrarna som jag har fÄtt i CA hitills.

Efter att ha surfat pĂ„ Jalama sĂ„ drog vi vidare mot Pismo som ligger dryga timme norr om Jalama. Vi checkade in pĂ„ ett hotel som Ryans morsa hade meckat Ă„t oss. 2 st 120 sĂ€ngar för fyra starka mĂ€n! Det skulle bli en trevlig kvĂ€ll…  Efter en lite siesta sĂ„ drog vi för att kika in surfen runt om Pismo. För er som fĂ„r för er att testa att surfa dĂ€r i framtiden sĂ„ kan jag meddela att att Pismo e Piss och ett jĂ€vla Redneck stĂ€lle. Blev ingen mera surf den dagen. IstĂ€llet sĂ„ blev det Dominos och öl pĂ„ quallity in. Slutade ganska bra tillslut.

PÄ söndag morgon sÄ drog vi vidare 20 min norr ut till Morro Bay. Senare Àven kÀnt för Marroracka Bay. Kan ha varit min sprÄkkunskap som satte kÀppar i hjulet dÀr. Om ni inte förstÄr vad jag menar sÄ Àr det ju bara att börja rÀkan stavfel i mina inlÀgg. Morro Bay var iaf ett riktigt nice stÀlle. Det var lÄgvatten nÀr vi kom dit sÄ det var en jÀvla lÄnga paddling med strömt vatten. Men vi fick oss nÄgra fina Äk. Som ni ser pÄ bilderna sÄ var vattnet vÀldigt blÄtt i Morro Bay. Bara att gilla lÀget.

Efter att ha vart ute i dryga tvÄ timmar sÄ bestÀmde vi oss att det var dags att dra tillbaka till SB och fÄ lite studier gjort under helgen. Gick ju inget vidare men tanken var god. Om jag inte minns fel sÄ kan det ha blivit In and out  senaste pÄ kvÀllen.

Bilderna som följer Ă€r ifrĂ„n först. Morro bay, hotelrummet i Pismo, Jalama beach och sedna lite bilder vi fick frĂ„n “1000 steps” dagen efter (mĂ„ndag). Förhoppningsvis kommer ni att fĂ„ höra mer om denna helgen i framtieden:
