Friday morning session...

5/20/2016

Long early morning session at 6 am with consistent 4-6'waves and sets waves well overhead. Mizata is a challenging wave to ride well. Mike and I both caught some good ones. Mike had a bomb set wave. We showed the young kids how to do a proper go behind. My last wave I had to eject on an 8' set wave late take-off because of a guy sitting right in my drop-in line. Bounced off the bottom in 10 feet of water and decided it was time for breakfast. Had a local take some photos (see following posts below).

4-6' and glassy this morning. Unfortunately, on-shore wind picked up and got on it early. Mike and I hired a driver and took a tour of the many breaks here. Mizata, K-61, K-59, Zonta, Sunzai, Bocana, Punta Rocas. Friendly people. Amazing coastline. Surf is building this afternoon. Some legit 6-8' sets at Mizata Point at high tide. Tomorrow should be fun... and challenging.

Mike caught and connected a set wave mid-morning that was close to double overhead. We surfed Mizata Point for almost an hour alone. Wind on it this afternoon. Traveled light this trip. Without my good camera and lens, photos just don't do wave justice.

Day 3 - Wednesday: Surf a bit wonky this morning, but still overhead on sets with power. Had a touch of Bali belli last night...couldn't help but think of the cows grazing along Mizata River and water flow into the break - Cipro...

Day 2: Surf in 4-6' range with overhead sets. Lots of power but bumpy shifty line-ups. 150 yd walk down the cobblestone field challenges the senior citizen with lost balance-skills. Mike and I have been surfing 2 sessions per day. Surfed Mizata Point a

The new issue of Eastern Surf magazine had some quotes worth sharing as I pack the car for the airport.

"...travel is a state of mind — no matter how mundane your day is, all it takes is the smallest spark to make you start lusting after the road." (Nick McGregor).

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime" (Mark Twain).

"...there's nowhere to go but everywhere, and there's no better time to do it than now." (ESM)
