my first session at Punta Roca was epic! perfect waves, perfect weather, and perfect time. stoked this photographer got these shots from the water. look closely and check out the rainbow off the back of the wave. i saw over a hundred rainbows this morning!

i came here to surf, and surfing is what i’ve been doing every day. going out at dawn and enjoying the beautiful waves of el salvador.

since i got here 3 days ago, i caught over a hundred good waves. barrels, ripping, long rides, and just enjoying every second of every ride. got 2 more days till i’m out of here. until then, i’m surfing, surfing, and surfing.

i just found out that there was an accident at LGA airport in new york. a flight from ATL to LGA is the exact same one I’m taking on sunday. i’m not surprised about the accident, i’m surprised on how much snow there is! shit happens and that’s why i always encourage everyone to enjoy their life.

ever since i was a kid, i probably watched over a thousand sunsets waiting for the green flash. till this day, i only seen one and that was in hawaii. well, yesterday was the second of my lifetime. i couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. super big green/red flash as i was standing on the beach with my surfboard. it was such an amazing moment. i wanted to hug someone near me but nobody was around. haha.

this is a very small world. i never thought in my wildest dreams that i would see Satoko here in el salvador. she came with her 2 amigos Ambo-san and Shin-san from cancun for a vacation. we hooked up, and the rest is memories and memories in the making. in fact, today’s session was so magical that i can’t even describe it. perfect waves, only us with 2 locals, photos, video, sunset, seagulls, and excellent riding. a super session that will go down in the top 5 sessions of my life.
gotta sleep because tomorrow my alarm is set for 4:30am. going to surf some secret spot an hour down the road with locals. supposed to be a super secret beach break that barrels! good night.
