Well after making it to Lima it was a couple hour flight to the next airport. Luckily the flight was not to packed as it was a 4am flight. I got to stretch out and I was out cold until we landed. We arrived before dawn in the smallest airport I had even seen. We then loaded up the 3 trucks for all 14 people plus gear and headed on the road for another 2-3 hours. We made it to our home camp around 9am.
The first thing we did was dig through our bags to find a board and fins. We built up our boards and ran down the beach for about 5 minutes to the break. The wave was small fun but packed as it is the weekend. I scored a couple fun waves then had enough of the crowd and headed back to the resort to relax. There are open rooms with beds and cool bathrooms, a killer pool and even more amazing view. Just about the time I got back the wind started to pick up. I had lunch with some of the crew then we rigged up the kiting gear and it was time for session number 2.
We rode right out front of the resort until sunset. It was a blast though relatively flat with a smaller set wave coming in every now and again. It was still a very fun session, which everyone was more than excited to take. I rode Slezy’s new 2010 Havoc and a Stretch F4 surfboard for a while then got out the camera. For my last session I rode sam’s 2010 Cult and 6’0 surfboard. I really enjoyed the kite and board a lot. I thought the ktie was a great improvement upon last years.
We cleaned up and relaxed before an amazing tuna dinner. The food has been absolutely amazing down here. There was a great sunset to cap off the first day in Peru.
