Surfing in El Palmar

So one of our friends, Flor, runs a business called Panama Surf School in the neighboring town of El Palmar http://www.panamasurfschool.com/.  She and her staff offer surfing lessons and surf trips for kids and adults.  I always wanted to learn how to surf - and Panama has good surf...  We decided to sign myself and the kids up for a 4-pack of lessons so we can get some surf action going on down here.

 

Turns out that surfing is harder than it looks and I have a new respect for those who can do it and make it look easy.  I must say the waves were perfect for first timers.  El Palmar is a mecca for beginning surfers since is has one of the country's most accessible surf breaks and reasonably priced accommodations and restaurants.
