Perfectly Polluted Waves

Here I am, with two good friends of mine; Santiago Cambefort and Daniel "Buru" Alvarado, surfing perfect waves on polluted water. Yes my friends, on polluted water. Before I started writing for "Sport of Kings" I signed a disclaimer saying "do not reveal surfing spots", so I won't.

This magical place is located in front of a town's dump (ironic as it sounds). In spite of it, a few years back, the water wasn't polluted. Now it is, and I have no confirmation of it, but they say it is because of the Panamenian government (it is just a rumor).

Luckly, me and my two good fellas didn't get sick. We had a very good surfing session, and yes it wasn't the best idea to go in, but see the pictures and judge by yourself.

BOA Surfboards Has a New Shaping Maching

Juan Jimenez, with 30 years of shaping experience just bought a new shaping machine (the only one in the country and one of the few in the region). What amazes me, is that Juan (the creator of BOA surfboards and BOA surf house) is not a common business man, he is a shaper and a surfer first. He really believe in the quality of his product and by being "real" he has gained a strong clientele (me, among many others).

To support what I'm saying if you see the picture above, you can appreciate Juan's surf shop, whit the new shaping machine inside; there is one BOA employee only. The rest of us are all friends. We helped Juan to destroy his window, and get the machine into the surf shop.

The machine needs to be programmed and installed now. BOA's efficiency on delivering boards will increase even more.
