A New Adventure in Brisas de Zicatela

The sun was just beginning to rise over the horizon as I made my way to La Punta Zicatela, a place that had been whispered about in the surfing community for its unique charm and perfect waves. This time, however, I wasn’t here to surf. I was here to try something new, something that had been on my radar for a while: skimboarding. And not just any skimboarding class, but one led by a world champion.

As I arrived at the beach, the salty breeze greeted me like an old friend. The sand was warm beneath my feet, and the waves were calling. I could see a small group gathered around a figure who exuded confidence and skill. This was the world champion, ready to share his knowledge and passion for the sport.

Learning from the Best

The class began with a warm-up, a chance to connect with the sand and the sea. Our instructor, with his easy-going demeanor and infectious enthusiasm, made everyone feel at ease. He explained the basics of skimboarding, emphasizing balance and timing, two skills that are crucial in both surfing and skimboarding.

We practiced sliding on the sand, learning to read the waves and anticipate their movements. It was a dance with the ocean, a chance to test our skills and push our limits. The world champion was there every step of the way, offering tips and encouragement, making sure we were safe and having fun.

For someone like me, who has spent years chasing waves, this was a refreshing change of pace. It was a reminder that there’s always something new to learn, always a new way to connect with the ocean.

Embracing the Skimboarding Lifestyle

As the class progressed, I found myself getting more comfortable with the board, more in tune with the rhythm of the waves. The camaraderie among the group was palpable, a shared sense of adventure and discovery.

By the end of the session, I was hooked. Skimboarding had opened up a new world of possibilities, a new way to experience the ocean. It was a perfect complement to my surfing adventures, a new challenge that I was eager to embrace.

Leaving La Punta Zicatela, I felt a renewed sense of excitement and inspiration. This skimboarding class had not only taught me a new skill but had also reminded me of the joy of trying something new, of stepping out of my comfort zone and embracing the unknown.

If you’re ever in Brisas de Zicatela, I highly recommend giving skimboarding a try. It’s an experience that will leave you with a smile on your face and a newfound appreciation for the ocean. Skimboarding with a Champ
