At the beginning of December 2011 I traveled back to Cabarete for a short 3 week visit. It was great to hookup with some of my clients and friends and again touch bases. I hoped to be doing a bit of sailing, but the wind would not cooperate right up and until my departure. I actually sailed for an hour on an onshore day, not the greatest conditions, but nevertheless it got me out into Cabarete Bay.

I did a fair amount of photography during my trip (I am still editing pictures), some of it was surfing, because the time of year brings often good groundswells from the North Atlantic. On a glassy day at El Encuentro the action is hot and easy to follow, it happens right there, close enough for everyone to enjoy... I know many of the surfers and I even met some I did not know before. The images are not just about surfing, but also about the people in it as well. The local surfing community appears to be growing, also within the younger generation.

Here we go I hope you like the Images/ slideshow and if you would like to see some more you may want to check out my other surfing images on facebook too. If you are friends with me you should be directed straight to the gallery otherwise send a request; my user name is Silvan Wick.
