First of, a big thanks to the great clients who chose to stay at Swell Surf camp in the last weeks. Both Brian’s that stayed at our surf camp in Cabarete were hilariously funny and great guys. There were Nick and Sam, very nice and easygoing guys. Mats, Radu, Tora, Jonathan, Cam are still having a good time, recovering from a big night out in the casino last night where we celebrated Mats’s birthday, we all won and good good times, but birthday boy Mats was the biggest winner so that was great.
Because of the late night party, surprise surprise, nobody was interested in going surfing this morning, which was probably better for the water safety

Expect a lot more photo’s from the clients who are going to be staying at Swell in the next couple of weeks, since we just got our new big 400 MM Canon lens today, and the first batch of pics are looking very promising.

Clare and myself love taking pictures, and when there’s half descent surf we will be at the beach at Encuentro taking pictures of our clients who are staying with us this winter. Speaking of which, the reservations are coming in very very quick and as a result very soon we will be full for a whole bunch of weeks, so if you are thinking about staying at our hotel in Cabarete, make sure you make your reservation ASAP.

Ok, here’s the first few pictures shot with the new canon lens.

Here’s the sign that my parents made for our surf camp. I think it looks great ( I hope they didn’t look at a picture of me surfing when they designed it, since the surfers’s style is uuuuuhhhmmmm ‘interesting’)

Here’s a picture from 500 metere distance looking towards Happy surf’s kite surf school in Cabarete

Mats the birthday boy, (who also happens to look scarily like Jack Johnson)

Last but not least , here’s Cam, he might pretend to be a mean bad ass on this picture but in reality he is a super friendly chap from Canada.

Hope you’ll come back soon here to see the surf action shots taken at Encuentro, (or better book a stay with us and have your pic displayed here

have a good day
Hasta Pronto
