Disaster!

Disaster! The wave here has potential but the on-shore winds are blowing hard again. I hope, but kind of doubt, the wind will be calm in the morning. Not only that but the surfboards/bodyboards availabe here for rent are a joke. Two of the three boards don't even have fins or leashes and they're full of cracks and dings. The other surfboard is better, but not by much. One of the bodyboards is completely devoid of laminate and leash. The other bodyboard has holes and grooves in it for skegs and the "leash" is scrap string and velcro. And no fins of course.

I arrived safely after a sleepless 12 hour overnight sleeper bus ride to Da Nang. I found Hoa's Place, the cult-status surfer/backpacker guest house at Non Nuoc beach. The vibe is here is nice, very much a boardshorts and no shirts on the beachfront type of thing.
