…into some bigger waves and stronger current! This was a different experience all together. Where before you could pretty much stand up and shoot, here it was a tough paddle out and took some effort to stay in the sweet spot. Later I found that the paddle in wasn’t too easy either! …got swept around the point and had to come in at the next break over, Indicators, w/ the help of one the instructors. A bit sketchy! Thanks J.P.!

…just testing out the incredible equipment in small waves. Tomorrow waves are supposed be 8′ at 10 seconds! Will see how the fins work in real waves I guess.

This is about an hour drive outside of Medellin. We rented a car and took off around noon. The trip included a couple stops for breakfast and lunch, a mock pueblo, a real pueblo and of course El Peñol (The Stone). …really beautiful!

No need to go in a bar on a good night at Parque Lleras, the party is in the street! On this night, Medellin beat Huila 1-0 (Soccer, obviously) and that’s all it took…not even a local game!
