Small waves, big wind

The waves were small so we did go snorkeling on Wednesday. It felt really good to be in the water.

But the big news has been the wind. The surfers are missing the waves but the kite surfers are lovin' it! Wednesday and Thursday our friends Eric (that's him in the picture), Charlie and others were rippin' it up at Shacks Beach. I heard there were a bunch of kite surfers down the way at Montones Beach also. It's so easy just to walk out to Shacks ("our" beach) and there's so much to see and do that sometimes it's hard to make myself go somewhere where else. If the wind comes up today, I may check out Montones. Variety is good, right?

There are pictures from both Wednesday and Thursday on Flickr and PuertoRicoSurfPhoto.com.

PRSP has been getting a lot of traffic, lots of people checking out the photos. A few of the Stateside surfers tell me they look at it regularly to get an idea of what conditions here are like - and just to remind themselves of why they love this area.

With a couple of days of voting left in the Lonely Planet "motion" challenge, my surfing photo is tied for sixth, seven votes behind the leaders. At least one of our regular readers logged on and voted for it. Thank you!
