| Near “Fred is dead” surfspot a friend took us to this hidden beachbreak called “El Cacao”, it was not big as you can see here, but sure it was funny. |

| On our explorations in “ El Cacao” we met locals full of soul. There’s a big community of bodysurfers and kids that rides anything that float. This is me with some of the chargers. |
