pretty fun to ride boars you love in actual waves, isn't it? glad you had a fun trip.Revo was the perfect board for K59. I rode it with the Von Sol stilleto quad and it was amazing!
Hydroshort for big Mizata and big Roca. Thruster with Futures P6 fin was the way to go.
Big learning curve! The waves have so much power and sort of reform on themselves. Absolute nothing like Oceanside (even on a good day).pretty fun to ride boars you love in actual waves, isn't it? glad you had a fun trip.

Locals at El Zonte and Roca were kind of assholes. K59 and Mizata are where its at.
Stoked on the info from the doos here at the erBB
I was wondering about the wife and family too. I think I would take them to Mizata - that place had a nice resort with multiple spots for waves. Maybe stay at K59 too. What a beautiful country. I heard the president has cracked down on the gangs A LOT. So hopefully it becomes more and more of a safe place for residents and visitors.Saw a local dude slip and snap his ankle doing the rock dance at punta Roca. Waves were firing. Las Flores and mango were fuggin sick but totally not a place I'd ever take my chick.

During the 90s and early 00s the gang/crackhead culture made it decidedly sketchier, but the lineups were much more regulated and orderly. An asshole from Tunco showing up with a van of 12 frothing Brazzos would not have been tolerated.That's one way to look at it...
I was given a good burn at El Zonte by a local. Some tattoo artist from El Tunco splashed water at me in Punta Roca and told me to "get out", and an american implant at K59 gave me a little push back and then was cool and gave me the run down of the place.During the 90s and early 00s the gang/crackhead culture made it decidedly sketchier, but the lineups were much more regulated and orderly.

Great video. Nice surfing, D!Made a short little video from the El Sal trip. A guided surf trip by a professional surfer is definitely the way to go!
Timmy's was ripping everyday and his coaching helped so much! The content he provided was amazing too.
such a different vibe at Las Flores from what youre describing. we didnt venture out west where you were but there locals were hooting us in to waves, letting sets go, and te only vibes we caught were from 2 brazzos who got mad they couldnt snag a wave but also didnt paddle to the top of the point. its so friggen cill down there..almost to chill.But the lineups seems to still be regulated - even just a little bit - which is good in my opinion.
Wow. Gonna have to visit there on the next trip. It was a pretty chill vibe at K59 (like you're describing), but El Zonte on an afternoon session was mayhem.such a different vibe at Las Flores from what youre describing. we didnt venture out west where you were but there locals were hooting us in to waves, letting sets go, and te only vibes we caught were from 2 brazzos who got mad they couldnt snag a wave but also didnt paddle to the top of the point. its so friggen cill down there..almost to chill.
Looks so fun and nice to see the Revo in good action.Made a short little video from the El Sal trip. A guided surf trip by a professional surfer is definitely the way to go!

Nicaragua was better in my experience. Granted, it all depends on the waves you're looking to ride and conditions.IMHO El Salvador is the best of the Centro spots for a Summer horror escape.
Last time I tried going overseas in sub-62 water I spent two weeks in Punta Hermosa in August wishing the Senoritas crowd size/hassle would mellow to First Peak Sebastian levels. South Africa is too far for a week, and Chile, unless you have a 4wd and know where you're going, it looks like you might as well just go get sections paddled down on you at Pavones (South) or Puerto (Atacama) so you don't have to deal with the same thing in a 3/2 or 4/3.
Mainland Mexico IMHO is still the king of Summer trips from the US, but the flight's longer + $$, the bus missions are longer, etc.
La Punta has noticeably more power than uppers and breaks harder from what I've seen. Even on the bad days.So as far as Punta Roca goes is it safe to say the power of this wave is just a cleaner uppers style wave. Looks like it to me watching the comp. Forecast is kinda showing and figuring it will start 4-6 occ 7 so is there any point bringing a step up for this wave or a HPSB and a couple twin fins? I know when uppers breaks at this height many guys at there still using fish or grovel boards
