Had to bail on the second half of my trip due to a broken hand, but my buddies are telling me that doing anything through NSR now is a horrible experience. Prices are jacked up, nickel and dimed to death on everything, and service is shit. Its like they want to lose surf tourism $$. Maybe just go at it completely on your own for that area, its easy to do, or hit up Shay's place at the boom if you want a total package. They never disappoint.

Anyone got info on El Salvador? Looks like flights are accessible and don't see the travel insurance requirement.

Just got back from El Salvador two weeks ago. Great trip. Seems to be the easiest and cheapest central american surf locale these days. Vaccination card or negative test gets you in and you need a negative test regardless of vaccination status to get back in the states. Can get one for $30 in San Salvador and you get your results in about an hour. Make sure you get the antigen test from Analiza or you'll be paying more. Stay at Hotel Michanti in El Zonte and tell Felipe that Porter sent you. Good central location close to a lot of good waves.
