A Trip to Surf City - by Tully White

Stepping off the plane after 35 hours of travel, dressed head to toe in Irukandji’s green I was quick to stash away my Australian team tracksuit as I was hit by tropical humidity. Lugging 9ft longboard coffins halfway around the world was no mean feat, but coming this far for a surf contest is becoming something of a regular trip. In 2019, recently elected President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele began investing heavily in his signature campaign “Surf City”, which aims to reshape public perception of a country ravaged by gang violence, into a surfer’s paradise.

So sad, someone’s gone out of their way to cover up the Australian flag with the Indigenous flag. You could of displayed both, so disrespectful.
