Today consisted of A LOT of search and explore, looking for ANYWHERE that was surf-able. We pretty much scoured the entire southern region today looking for waves. Alas we found the best place to surf… albeit, it pretty much looked the same everywhere today. BIG and messy.

So what do you do when finding something remotely surfable just isn’t in your favor… you suck it up and paddle out anyways. Fábio relieved to be out of the car and ready to get into some waves.

Danilo getting in a couple turns before the rain decided to finish off whatever conditions were even a slight possibility of a very mediocre surf sesh.

With the pulsing swell (if you haven’t seen all the hype on social media today from our neighbors up in El Salvador where it’s absolutely going OFF) Central America is definitely lighting up right now!

Peeping tom peanut gallery shots are always fun when you know you’re gonna be pretty limited on the amount of surf shots you’re going to be coming home with for a surf report.

If you’d like to see a good size comparison of one of todays set waves, check out Chris (bottom left) paddling back out. Oddly, it’s offshore in this shot too??

Chris, not very long after that paddle back out nabbing one last one in, trying to hopefully backdoor this thing if it should want to open up. Unfortunately, to his surmise, it was a crumbly big lumpy and bumpy wave. Let’s hope these winds clean up the next day or two, so we can all get some fun waves while we have some amazing swell!

This house is a 5 bedroom home, this being the master bed, looking straight out to one of the best left hand point breaks in the area, which is also pretty exclusive for accessibility. Imagine waking up, having a cup of coffee while checking this spot right before you paddle out.
