    Post SURFING PANAMA: LAST MINUTE

    Partner-in-crime needed to evade la policia, share car rental/gas expense, and share lodgings for car camping/cabanas trip on Panama's Pacific coast between Morro Negrito & Puerto Armuelles. This week/next week. Peak of swell should be Monday with nice slow tapering off over a few days.

    Will use my house in San Carlos as a base for exploring west, extending maggot privileges to righteous dude/dudette. All my friends here have no money, and/or no time.

    That sounds unsuckworthy. Damn not having a paycheck!
    Be careful about buying snowboard goggles for skiing. Snowboard goggles come in right eye and left eye (for goofy-footers) dominant models. This can make it hard to see correctly when skiing because you are facing straight down the hill, not sideways.

    Thumbs up QUE TAL !!!

    Today was 4-6' @ 17 seconds, and offshore, so the points in San Carlos were going off. Should be quality for several days more, and the long-term looks really good:

    Found this video from la Autoridad de Turismo Panamá promoting the ISA World Mastes at Santa Catalina (27 AUG - 5 SEP). Stoked to see my neighbor Italo featured near the end, he was owning Punta Palmar this morning.

    Post some pictures instead of tables. I can see the tables from my desk, I'd rather be looking at the goods.

    I have no pictures from the San Carlos area - I go on my bike so the camera never goes to the beach. Three swells peaked during three weeks that made it worth staying home, since local points were all 4-6', reeling, and clean.

    I traveled to Los Santos solo, so all I have are from there are line-up shots. It was all 3-6' at 12-16 seconds from the south on a fading swell. Fun conditions but the pics make it look lame.

    CIRUELO: Super fun 3-4' and working. Solo session.




    VENAO: Small here is still large. 4-6' beach break. You can see one guy going over the top outside. 10 guys out.




    GUANICO: 4-7', clean. The surprise of the trip. Four in the line-up.




    CAMBUTAL: 2-3' here at the beach, much larger outside. Another solo sesh.
