Hello Melissa,
Well, we made it back to Cape Cod, MA - after a great trip to Puerto Rico.
We did up ferrying to Culebra. Playa Flamenco (sp?) is fabulous and the snorkeling wonderful.
Hey, our new friend, thanks so much for the surf experience. We all loved it. Albeit, my shoulders were a bit sore the next day.
I did get some great shots, and the one of you and the girls taken at the end is awesome.
If you are ever thinking about putting together a website - (which I think would greatly increase your bookings, since no other professional surfer is using the web to book tours with a individual website - I know you are on hte Rincon tourism site, but eventually, when you want to go big, girl, you are going to have to get your own site). It's not really that expensive. If you are ever interested get in touch with me. I want to you succeed, cause, you are the BEST!
Please stay in touch. If you ever make it to the northeast you always have a place to stay. And, the surfin' isn't to bad either.
Peace, love, tie-dye ~ Dick, Linda, Hilary, and Alexa Hilmer
Melissa,
Sorry we didn't catch up with you Thursday - I think maybe it was our
phone which died of salt water exposure. Anyway thanks so much for
your excellent guidance, which gave us a lot of knowlege about some
of the breaks there and more confidence to explore some more. Had a
great session on Thursday afternoon on a perfect right hander just
down from Parking lots. Took the kneeboard out, which made getting
through the white water so much easier. It was a lot of fun surfing
with you and hope to see you again next year and explore some of the
breaks further north. Checked out Wilderness which was way to big
and scary for Dan and me this time, but maybe next time we can check
that out.
Stay well,
Joe
Hi Melissa,
