Man Standing On Water

The best thing about having someone photograph you surf session is you get to see yourself surf. The worse part about having someone photograph your surf session is, in my case, you get to see yourself surf. Style? Nada. Spray? Nada. Essentially every wave is a variation of me standing on my board in some stage of an evolutionary bumper sticker. At best I look like a bulgarian deadlifter, at worse, someone on a nordic track on water, although, unlike Alex Knost in The Present, I don't actually have a nordica track. Oh well. Should started 20 years ago.

Today I went to K59 again and got there just as the sun was rising.

The fact that the sun rises over water gives you a good indication how south El Salvador faces and why there's an unusual amount of rights. But the odd left can always be found.

What's more beautiful, a sunrise or a an empty line up?

Solomente...

First light right...

Lowers...

Uppers...

Oh the possibilities...what would Dane do?

Maybe I can just...

One size does not fit all...

Wasn't for a lack of trying...

Wave pool admission: $800 flight, $30/nt. room, $300 guide.

Worth it?

Swell picked up a foot today...

Unfortunately my surfing stayed the same...

After a an hour and a half of having it to myself, a guy from Florida paddled out. He was on a similar last minute excursion.

Nordic Tracking...

Tomorrow we're heading to a "secret" spot that is suppose to have a better barrel section. Fingers crossed.

Hasta manana.

Ha, I saw you a lot further down the evolutionary line a couple of years ago. I'd say you're doing pretty well. Great pix. Looks like some tasty waves. Wish I coulda been there. Next time.
