Surfing Punta Roquitas again, transporting my surfboard to Huaral

Today was really exhausting. Naomi and I did our usual bus and trek down the giant staircase from Miraflores to the surf. I got worked out there today by the big waves. Took me a good 20 minutes to get to where I wanted after I got pulled almost a football field north by a strong rip current. The waves were big but not super consistent and I found myself fighting currents to stay in position.
Still I managed and paddled in after an hour and a half battle. After an hour of paddling out there I just started to get flexible and felt comfortable again on my board. I guess this is expected after not surfing for a week being landlocked. When I got out of the water my feet were so numb I couldnt feel my toes touching the round rocks and nearly fell over. 62 is pretty cold, anything below 60 and I would have worn booties for sure.

After surfing we went to the local Chili's in San Miguel and got the especial del día. Today was guilt-free Sunday. Grilled chicken, corn, veggies, and Peruvian rice. Eating food was amazing after not having breakfast and burning a ton of calories.

In order to get my surfboard 2 hours north of Lima to Huaral, we had to take two separate busses. One was the "Metalbus" that does a route through Miraflores, Magdalena del mar, and San Miguel before travelling to Plaza Norte. I kind of just set my board in front of me and keep it out of the way of other bus passengers. It's not the easiest thing to do on a cramped bus, but when you're on a surf safari you have to adjust to your surroundings.

Plaza Norte is a shopping center and travel hub just outside the city of Lima and we connect to the "Zeuss" bus which is a much larger tourism bus that travels directly to Huaral. They are very accommodating and you can put your oversized luggage in the storage area below the bus. I wrapped my surfboard in a blanket to prevent it from getting damaged on the way. It only costs 6 soles per person to travel an hour and a half. That's only $2.
Finally we got to Huaral. It takes about 3 hours total to get from San Miguel to Huaral. I'll be resting my bones tonight at Naomi's mom's steam sauna that she owns. This is my home away from home and there are hardly any decent steam saunas in San Diego. She has a fantastic property here in Huaral.
This Tuesday I am planning another surf trip to Pasamayo about 20km from Huaral. It costs 3 soles to take a "conbi" which is a small van to this remote beach below a massive sand dune. The surf report however says this may be an incredibly rewarding adventure. This is not an easy beach to get to but the surf and swell are forecasted to be perfect on Tuesday.

I am going to take all precautions beforee paddling out. This is a very isolated beach so there are no lifeguards and the only people out there might be a handful of other surfers. I also plan on checking out the reef as this is a reef break and that poses a danger depending on how shallow it might be. It never hurts to be too safe, an accident can ruin a trip and I dont have traveler's insurance.

***Update*** A guy at Naomi's sauna had what we think was an epileptic seizure. After seeing him down and life saving efforts going on he was barely breathing but was foaming at the mouth. I was first to suggest we call the fire department or an ambulance **pats self on back** but Naomi made the call and gave the "bomberos" the location of the sauna. So far the guy is semi conscious and we are praying for the best. He is doing better now but he will most likely be transported to a local hospital.
