Surfing with Rich

La mariscada

I have pleasant recollections of a trip I took to El Salvador in June of 1994. Patricia, a friend of mine and her father met me at the airport. On the way to their home in Santa Ana, Leonel suggested we stop for lunch in Puerto La Libertad. La Libertad is a world-renown point break. I had ventured to El Salvador twice in the late 1970’s specifically to surf the point.

We walked out on the pier when we arrived. It was a sunny day, and the air was thick with humidity.
