Maria's break this morning, Rincon Puerto Rico


If you are a visitor to Rincon in the Winter season and are fortunate enough to be here when the surf is up and solid as it was this morning, you owe it to yourself and your companions to head out to the surfing breaks and take in the scene. First, you don't need to be a surfer, second you don't even need to look good in a bathing suit. All you need to do is to get there and let the wave of the scene flow over you. Today there was a ton of water moving out there, literally. These were waves for people who knew what they were doing. The waves were at least 12 feet and the wind was 10-15. These riders were good and you could feel them challenge the waves. It is very physical. The sun, the moving water, the sand, the light, the color, the youth... amazing.

Now others were there as well. Just taking it all in. Talking to the surfers... mostly staying clear of the water. I did see some body boarders. A couple of jet skis were being used to pull surfers back out so they don't have to climb the waves to get back out.

You get a strong feeling of LIFE.

More tomorrow.
