peeling close to the shore. Not the kind of wave you would see in a double spread of a hardcore surfing mag but still! I didn’t’ event know it could be possible here! This is not an accident, it keeps coming in! Set after set. Little gentle waves right here. Untouched. I came with a few boards so we could cruise and practice some stroke technique but now that I see this. I know I have to try... Sorry guys, you can go snorkelling, I have a different meeting now. Influence of the two oceans In Central America there is a concentration of variety. And of course biodiversity. Not even mentioning waves! The narrow land and the influence of the two oceans (Atlantic and Pacific) make it a unique zone for wildlife and it seems also that all types of landscapes are gathered here. I’ve been travelling this area for almost 20 years now. Ever since I was able to travel for surfing. It’s been a hell of a ride! I’ve had good and bad encounters, some adventures and some scary experiences. But guess what? I still get surprised! Of course this is not the world class wave you would expect but I’m super excited to be the only one in the water. I am the only one riding this crazy little wave that was never expected to break here. It is uncharted territory and I feel like an explorer! The landscape and the feeling are just like being in a dream. A perfect secluded beach, blue sky, wild nature, white sand; it is like a photo studio. Almost unreal. Surreal. Like this day, when I had to bring a group of friends to a special sheltered beach where they could go snorkelling and SUP cruising. You know, that kind of day where you should be searching for waves because the swell just arrived. But you can’t because you promised your friends you would take them somewhere nice and you’ve been postponing this for too long already. That kind of days where you usually would never end up in that beach. For good reasons! It is flat there! Good for fishing or learn
