30. January - 3. February 2011
Leo (Carlos' brother) was competing in Montanita in national and international surf competitions with the longboard and we decided to go there to cheer for him. And I was curious to see Montanita anyways because everyone in Ecuador is talking about the beach town. Well, the beach and the landscape was nice but there are far more tourists than in Canoa and it's very crowded. There are a lot more bars and party as well.
Unfortunately, Leo wasn't as successful as he had hoped. He finished 2nd in the national competition (good job Leo!!) but didn't manage to get to the second round in the international contest.
We went out at night and hang out at the beach, watched the surf competitions during the day and had a few nice, relaxed days.
I also enjoyed the international food and the delicious fresh mango juice. For some reasons this time it was difficult to buy mango in Canoa (which was a big disappointment) but were sold everywhere in Montanita.
