The other week I had the kids bodyboarding at Micklers at high tide for the first time. There was a 3 foot shore-break dumping hard in about a foot of water and I was launching the kids (cautiously) into the waves. The whitewash was exploding around them and shooting them up onto 10 feet up onto the shore at phenomenal speeds.
Unfortunately a thunderstorm rolled in within about 30 minutes of us getting there. As lighting stuck nearby and the crack of thunder startled everyone and cleared the remaining people from the water I told the kids we had to go. "But Daddy!" said my six year old daughter, "this beach is FUN!!!".
In consolation for their ruined fun I told the kids we'd drive south and catch another beach. We passed Guana River, and the Gate station as storm was still too close and ended up at a little beach just north of Vilano (the one where the wooden foot bridge crosses over the road). The waves were a little less punchy, and probably safer, but they spat the kids out up onto the sand just the same. Awesome day at the beach.
Stay Stoked,
DH
