Peru: an inside view

na he was right i gotta try im down to my last twenty dayz

 

well they turneds the bus around. back to lima. too much gnar once the water reached the windows.

 

bought a sixer for the eight hour ride back. feel much better. passed half of them out to the weary locals on the bus. sharing is caring.


tommorrow i call avianca and finds out their board fees. armor my boardsock laden thirdworld board with as much cardboard plumbers foam and bubble wrap as money can buy.


hop back on the mo ther f u cking horse.

oh and surf. dog, all the waves within a hundred miles of lima always smell like ****. but at least pampillo has lights so i can get a night surf in tonight if my bus makes it

 

well im back in lima. bought a round trip ticket between lima and trujillo for 150 from avianca. ill return the morning of my international flight so im pretty much breaking even for how much i would have paid for a place to stay by the airport that final day and a cab.

only problem is im flying avianca with a board socked board and no hard case. ( no domestic charge for a surfboard)

may the force be with me

 

just to give ya fellas an idea of what im headed into this is from the local news. For those of you who don't read spanish just check the vidja.
this is why my bus got turned around. national gaurd has been deployed and such. might as well go tho, punta hermosa just got mudslidded, most of lima is without power, all of lima is without water and the diasater spans all areas of the country. good swell forcasted for chicama so need to try

sometimes chasing waves aint all sunshine and roses, but hey wats a good third world surf trip without wading through waiste deep sewage right?

 

couldnt find pipe insulation cause i dont think they do that down here due to climate. made a cocoon of cardboard double layered it on the rails and wrapped the whole thing in bubble wrap. tipped te baggage handler twenty soles and said " por favor tienies mucho cuidado es mi bebe" in gringo-ese.

its in aviancas hands now.

 

whelp the vibes are turning heady again. floodwater has dried for now, made it safe to huanchaco con board with no dings. good job avianca you have really redeemed yourself in my eyes.

i was picked up at the airport by my friendz friend in a security installation van ( work truck) found a gem of a hostel on the beach called casa fresh

above picture was taken on my tablet from the sh i t ter. paying twenty a night for that not bad.

this morning was head high and glassy peeling left all down the beach and the locals called it flat. no one out because buses arent running its only the locals, people who got trapped, and gringos with enuf cash ( or desperation) to buy the plane ticket.

got a ride secured for chicama is sunday. should build to eight feet plus for sunday monday tuesday and into the weekd if im lucky.


stoaked.
