Going on a road trip in Puerto Rico without GPS is a shit throwing hellride. We rented a car in San Juan and headed 2 hours west to a beach town called, Isabela where we heard the surf was good.

After a few missed turns into the wrong direction we stumbled upon, Casa de Playa Surf & Snack in Aguadilla. The owner was nice enough to rent me a long board and give us a hand-drawn map of a hidden surfspot called, Surfer’s Beach.

not exactly your typical vast beach with half naked sluts, rather a simple barebones beach occupied by a pack of white scavenger dogs, red ants, rocks and reef.

Unfortunately, as fate would have it, I stepped on this…

Heliocidaris Erythrogramma - A sea urchin.

Really felt good going straight into my big toe.

Stephanie is performing her own sea urchin surgery here.

Serenity at last! (Even though my toe is numb at this point)

Jennifer adjusts the boards so that we dont kill ourselves or anyone else on our way back to San Juan.

FYI: There is no lodging in Isabela, Aguadilla and Rincon on the Fourth of July.
We learned that the hard way on empty stomachs.
