Its all fun and games till the waves get big

We have found a great spot here at Playa Mizata in El Salvador. The people here are super friendly, bringing many local treats fresh from the forest (mangoes and coconuts) and from the ocean (oysters and lobster!). Perhaps most important, they included us in the tubing extravaganza!!!!!!! Who
needs a boat!!!

IT WAS SO FUN!

Abandon Ship!

Slammed.

The crashes were so fun!!!

We had tons of fun and everyone came out of the water smiling. Today however, was a little different story. Shona was the first one out and had a little chill time before the waves showed up.

Shona catching a small one early in the morning.

As the morning went on the waves got way bigger, and our excitement grew tremendously. If you look closely, I think you can see Shona's board as she was tubed out. Trust me, she's in there.

 

Unfortunately, she didn't come outta that one unscathed. The fin of her board caught her on the shin pretty good.

Kelly McB, you're lucky yours was only a little one compared to this one.......

Project number one of the day. Fix up Shona.

We both agreed that the steri-strips would do after some careful consideration about pulling out the needle and thread.......

We did get it looking quite good and in fact got the skin back together quite securely. No worries moms.... After a little break it was on to project #2 of the day...... Fixing the board.

Shona and the surfboard repaired, it was a very exciting day to say the least!!!!
