America
SUP surprise

I remember the feeling I had when I was young and I heard about Central
America. This place was tainted with a few caricature images that would
prevent anyone going there. Unless you were an adventurer, or a narco! This
part of the world seemed to be either too risky if you thought about weapons
and political conflicts, but it was also pretty remote as far as medical
assistance goes. In a word it was a no-go zone.
Well, the world changes so fast. I used to travel a lot in Indonesia and North Africa. Cheap life, good waves... and a little bit
crowded too. In the meantime I kept hearing from surfers and travellers that if I wanted to get a glimpse of what the world used to
be like 40 years ag, I should try this little piece of land stuck between North and South America.
It seems so small on the map, compared to the gigantic proportions of both North and South Americas that you could imagine it’s
not worth the long travel. It is all wrong.
