Join us for another live episode of the Thank You Surfing Podcast from El Salvador. It's our first international episode, and we're stoked to discuss the vibrant local surf scene with special guests Pollo from Tropical Freaks and Pablo from Hotel Michanti.
We dive into topics such as the impact of tourism and government initiatives on El Salvador's surf culture, localism in the lineup, the resurgence of alternative surfboards, and how the surf culture has evolved over the years. We also touch on the challenges and benefits of surfing weird boards and the future of surfing in El Salvador. Tune in to catch all the action live from Pescaito Frito, March 2023!
