Swell dropped to shoulder-head high. Last couple days in El Salvador will be pretty quiet at Mizata. Seems wrong to be heading back to the states and leaving my wingman behind. Surfed this morning with a crew of locals. NSB crew left this morning.

Photos reveal so many bad habits with my backhand technique, I don't know where to start. Legs too close together. Lead foot needs to be opened up. Knees to straight. Shoulders not squared and open on turns. Arms too high on bottom turn. Geez, I hope I live long enough to get this straightened out...
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.
