Day 4

Me on my one wave. Good snap with hurt ribs.

Slept in again due to high tide. My ribs were hurting really bad. I tried to paddle out and at about halfway through the lineup I didn't think I was going to make it out. I finally made it to the outside. I caught one wave did a few turns and rode it to the beach and called it a day. I ended up taking photos all day.

Larry, Matt, and I walked to the south to check out the waves around the point. We had heard that there was a right that broke on high tide. We walked around the point to Playa Amarillo and saw another point to walk to. On the walk we got sunburned despite the 50 spf sunblock we had on. We saw a flat fish (sole fish?) stuck in the sand on low tide. Larry used his sandles to get it back to the water. Around the other point was Playa Gigante, a small fishing town.

Larry and Matt walked to Panga Drops, a reef wave north of Playa Colorado. I needed a nap and couldn't surf because of my ribs.

Later on in the afternoon I took photos of the surf at playa colorado. The light was perfect and waves were getting better. There were two guys from Florida were sitting on the beach and I offered them both cold beers, it made their day and I told them to pass it on and give a stranger a cold beer in the near future.

Night time came and we were fired up to go to Don Elroy's, the pizza place. About two minutes into the walk we saw a tarantula and I tried to take a picture. The problem was that I left the battery for my camera in the charger. Larry and Matt said there was a two shot penalty for turning back, but I had to have the camera to document the night. The lucky part about going back was we found a ride and were able to avoid the muddy walk all together. At the bar we met Jim, he owned a lot of property in Hacienda Iguana. He helped develop many of the properties. On the way back after a long and eventful night, we got a ride from some brazilians. The guys from Florida had two bikes and we holding on to the back of the truck. No one got hurt and I got some good pictures.
