Boogie boarding at Playas

A few weeks before our planned departure from Ecuador, we decided to make one last trip to the temple and the beach. We had heard about Playas, a nice, relatively quiet beach about an hour to the west of Guayaquil. We happened upon an inexpensive house to rent and spent a week there. It was perfect. The temperature was nice, there was a pool right next to the house, and there were some smallish waves just perfect for the kids to play on. Bentz and Jorie took to the waves like a mouse to cheese. Here are Bentz and I scoping out the scene, looking for the "monster wave."















Despite this being his first time trying the boogie board and getting knocked all over over the place (and probably drinking about a gallon of dirtyish water), he absolutely loved it. Even after getting knocked in the face with a floating 2x4, he still kept heading out for more.
















Even after I decided I'd had enough and headed in, I couldn't convince him that it was time to go. He kept going out time and time again until he couldn't get past the close break and the waves just kept knocking him down.
















We all had a great time, and hopefully we can get back to a good beach soon so that Jorie and Bentz can head out for some more great waves.
