Yeah me too surf seems to come and go around Nuqui-someone told me surfing was better toward Bahia Solano.

Not much to look at. Panama is the best waves in central/south america, we were there in 2005 for 3 weeks of break. It ain't the back doors though......you know about that houstongal....

jajajaj....Frank.....I get a podcast from Hawaii Surf Session Report (http://www.surfsessionreport.com) . Very cool, especially this time of year during the winter swells. I love watching surfers.

Hey...I didn't know you surfed! Not that many guys from Punahou surfed! OK....maybe the football players!

All the way out to Haleiwa? I don't think I've been out that way for a long time. I usually try to make it around the island at least once when I'm home.....at least so I can get some shave ice. All my favorite places in Honolulu are gone. :-(

You can surf in Cartagena although it certainly is nothing to rave about. Also saw some ok waves in P tayrona.

Rio Buritaca, east of Santa Marta is a really neat little beach town and has the best surf I've seen. It changes a lot as the sand shifts I am told. You might even be able to find a crappy board to rent. If you go to there, check out the waterfalls at Valencia as well.

I didn't surf there but I certianly plan to when I get back. It's the best looking surf I've seen in Colombia which doesn't say much. The best surf town and really, my favourite beach town in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. It's overrun by gingos, but at least Costa Rica sucks up the worst ones.

Yeah San Juan del Sur has great surf - especially that beach where you take the boat to (name escapes me). Also down in libertad in El Salvador I saw cracking surf wit no people out.

Some surfing is possible from the MUELLE DE PUERTO COLOMBIA, about 15 minutes or so from Barranquilla, especially in this time of year when it is windy.
