The Latin American Surf Tales (Dropping May 11th)!
Can't wait to share this project with the world - The Latin American Surf Tales is my first ever book. The story details my travels through Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Brazil and more. I hope the book provides first-hand insights into some of the best waves in the world and inspires you to get on the road and chase waves!

    So how would you describe Thailand and the start being R? If I was a kook looking for shitty waves. I'd go to Sri Lanka.

    @@user-if7kq7if2e haven't been to Thailand. There are a great number of them in Sri Lanka and Indonesia (mostly Bali) as well. But I wouldn't say their attitude is comparable to that of God's people. I would put them in the kook with no previous surfing culture=ignorance category. Same as northern Europeans, but with an aggressive attitude when confronted about it. God's people are a whole other level, the entitlement, the lack of respect for anyone (including their own) and the aggressive behavior in the lineup is unbearable. Selfishness and greed at its finest. Also, it isn't just one, most of them have the same manners at least in the water, so multiply that by 60% of the lineup.

    As for the power, it’s pumping 2-3 times per season when the wave is above 6-7 feet. So not very much true that it is mellow when it’s pumping

    night bus to and from abay is fine if you ready to go sleepless for cheap. they take boards too. also once on location get your own transport there. trust me. you will enjoy it insanely more.
