on guatemala..... - I know Guate a bit. I speant a couple months there and here is my opinion: Great country, cool indigenous people, rica comida, bonitas montanas. I have been all ovr asia europe and central america and this is one of the most amazing places I have been to. Amazingh Mayan ruins and valcanoes. As far as surf goes, Guate's surf lacks compared to the rest of centro A. Its mostly all beachy and the beaches are hot and sweaty with minimal accomidations. You can defintely surf there and cathc epic days but you got pavones and punta roca to the south and Mex pipe north so it would seem a bit silly to go to Guate to surf sweaty beach. Another way to view it is it will most definitely be an adventure and not crowded, so you have to decide. You can put anything you want on the buses there..in fact you should bring a chicken or 2, six children and a bag of soda if you want to fit in. Thye best thing you could ever do in Guatemala is go to SEMUC CHAPEY---this place is unreal..Buenas suerte

- Nothing with real potentila eh? o.k mate that's fine you keep saying that..How could that possibly be true??? Guatemala receives exactly the same swell as Mexico and has many new jetties being built on estuary mouths which are forming hollow fat ant fast barelling rights...If you know where to look..trust me...YOU WILL BE REWARDED.

besto of CA - Guatemala is a nice and relax country but not so good to surf, theres a lot of beach break but notting with real potencial, the best of central american its in costa rica, nicaragua (but theres no roads to get to the best beach), el salvador is the other country, could be the best.

- My bad, wrong name. Not carlos, the guy's name is Pedro Pablo Vergara. He also organizes surfing schools for surfers of all abilities. Go to www.mayaextreme.com for the surf schools.
