Salinas Longboard Festival 2014

The 13th edition of the Salinas Longboard Festival was held once again, a must-attend event for all lovers of Longboard, retro surfing, and aquatic rarities. Here you won't find shaved heads pretending to be Kelly, nor bad faces or shouts when catching a wave; this is all about good vibes and soul surfing.

We saw everything from a father surfing waves with his son from the peak to the shore, to boards made from bottle corks that looked like church confessionals.

We also enjoyed a good lineup of concerts with bands like Guadalupe Plata and Pony Bravo.

We were there for four days, come hell or high water, and we mean it, since on the last day our "Vietnamese beach bar" literally flew away.
