Up North Likesay

Since leaving Santiago I have been living in a wee coastal village about 7 hours to the north. It´s super bueno, but sometimes a wee bit too small. There are two good beaches which are beautiful but, unfortunately, don´t convert the masses of daily swell into too many rideable waves. Still, the last few days turned on a local river mouth wave and the locals were out in force!

It´s crazy being in the water and looking back to the snow capped Andes mountains, took my breath away the first time! The water is not warm but not cold, with the sun it´s warm enough to stay in the water all day..

When the swell dropped off a bit I took the camera out and tried a few snaps of the local kids surfing and bodyboarding, many are also my students in the local school! They are all super stoked at the presence of a strange gringo in their waters!

Viva Chileeee>!
