Back from El Salvador

From July 31-Aug 11 I was blessed to be able to travel to El Salvador on a mission/surf trip! I traveled with the group Christian Surfers headed by my friend John Lindsley. Because I jumped on the trip last minute I was not able fly with the majority of the guys but had a seperate flight that was supposed to leave 30 minutes after the main group. However, my flight was cancelled and I ended up spending the night in Los Angeles! That morning me and a father/son pair boarded a flight to Guatamala, and we ended up sleeping in the airport! After almost two solid days of traveling...(the flight only takes about 5-6 hours) we were all there.
El Salvador is a beautiful country just south of Mainland Mexico and Guatemala. Its very tropical and our first session was at a fun right hand point break (El Salvador is mainly right hand point breaks which is good for regular footed surfers like myself). The water was 90 degrees and so was the air so it sometimes felt like you were melting in the water! We scored some amazing waves, visited an orphanage, helped judge a christian surfers surf contest, and visited with a kid that was sponsered by the christian surfers group through Compassion international. More to come on my trip in the near future!
