Dusk at Las Flores

Dusk at Las Flores... long exposure shot just as the sun had gone down. I like how you can see the movement of the clouds as well as the faint colors in the background.

The Wave at Las Flores

The wave at Las Flores, El Salvador... yes, it's a long ride.

A Couple's Last Glance

Low tide reflections on the beach at Las Flores.

Tonight's sunset at Las Flores. Believe it or not, this was actually the worst sunset since I've been staying here (the other days I was too busy surfing to get a camera)... it was still pretty incredible though.

Salvadorian Sunrise

Two surfers make their way up the beach during the pre-dawn hours at Las Flores.

Nature Walk Around Las Flores

One thing that I've learned from my many surf trips over the years, is the importance of pacing yourself... especially if you're in a warm/tropical environment. With this in mind, I decided to take the afternoon off from surfing and take some pictures in the shade (going surfing again this evening).

Time-lapse Video - The Wave at Las Flores

A short time-lapse video featuring the wave at Las Flores. The resort I was staying at had a little happy cocktail hour on top of this cliff overlooking the ocean. As I was drinking fresh coconut juice + rum, I sent my camera up to take some pictures of the surf. The wave looks pretty good in the video, but this was actually the smallest day of the trip.

Looking at the surf spot (Las Flores) while eating lunch.

Some additional photos from my trip to El Salvador. Definitely had a great trip... friendly locals, great food, amazing surf, and a beautiful countryside. I'm really going to miss waking up to the sound of the ocean every day.

Surfer exiting water after a long session... exhausted but completely content.

Looking down at the Las Flores resort from on top a hill (in the jungle). The massive amount of plant life definitely helped shade the resort and keep things cool.

Surfing - El Salvador

Pictures of me surfing at Las Flores (in El Salvador). Amazing surf spot- rides over150-200m, sand bottom, friendly locals, no crowd... couldn't ask for much more.

The wave at Las Flores... in this particular case, pictures speak much louder than words.

A "little" afternoon squall in El Salvador (looked like the rapture was about to happen?)
I wasn't too sure whether I should run for cover or take pictures... I chose to take pictures and then run for cover. About 15 minutes prior to taking this picture, there was no wind and the ocean was glassy. It was amazing how much the pressure changed and the wind increased in a matter of minutes.

Surfers clearing out from the water.

Right after this photo was taken, it started down pouring. Chairs were getting blown over, umbrellas went flying, and there was a bit of debris in the air. Very dramatic!

Reflections...
Pictures taken from the beach at Las Flores (in El Salvador)... love taking photos at low tide.

My view for the next 7 days... keep pinching myself to make sure that it's not a dream.
Perfect right hand point break right steps away, fresh fish for lunch, lobster for dinner, and staying in a beautiful resort (Las Flores). LOVE El Salvador!
