Venezuela

My Venezuela trip has come to an end and it was an epic trip even though the waves were really small. It's a beautiful place and the people are nice.  I was pretty sketched on VZ after hearing all of the stories on that you shouldn't be alone at night and stay in doors as much as you can.  I guess Caracas is more sketchy than the island of Margarita.  I spent two nights in Caracas somehow at my friend Begonas house with her mom.  Begonas mom is a legend.  She's super cool and I had a great time hanging out and staying indoors talking stories and eating some local VZ food.  After a couple nights in Caracas, I made my way to Margarita.  It's a beautiful island and a lot safer than Caracas from what I was told.  I stayed with DUBB and the DK world champ Sacha Specker.  The waves never got bigger than 2ft, but the vibes and zones were good times for sure.  I ended up placing 13th in the Open pro and 9th in my first Pro GSS DK comp somehow.  Stoked!  I'm on route to Mexico right now and Im frothing to get some big sections and allkinesssss!!!  yewww!!  Below are some photos from my Venezuela trip.  Thank you to everyone in VZ for showing us a good time and also to Begona and her mom for taking care.  Enjoy.  aloha
