It was with heavy hearts that we all bid our fellow traveller, Russell, goodbye…..well not that heavy actually. He will definitely be missed around camp but we all wished him well on his Central American sojourn!
Rough seas and strong winds put our snorkeling trip on hold for another time, so we took the opportunity to go through everyones Rider Diaries. These sessions are designed to give each rider a chance to analyse their own surfing and have myself and George give our input as well. This allows everyone to start to thinking more critically about their surfing and how they can improve. George also gave a little talk on wave prediction and more specifically a website most surfers use to forecast the swell.
Saturday evening we took a ride to a nearby town to get stuck into a very Central American affair…Rodeo!! There were heaps of food stalls and a quaint fun fair which kept us entertained until the main event. Watching guys ride these huge bulls quite an experience and they certainly draw respect!
We are off on a quad bike adventure tomorrow to a local town called Montezuma, where we are going to spend the day bathing in some beautiful waterfall pools and monkeying around on rope swings.
I hope you are all well at home and enjoying our updates.
