Tired eyes, bottoms and necks. 12 hours from Cape Town to London and 10 hours from London to Miami. After running around between terminals and passport controls, we made it to the Miami International Airport Hotel and after a shower and new set of clothes, we made our way to South Beach… well we tried making two not-so-English, Spanish uber drivers understand where we’d like to go, which ended up making 4 of us parade up-and-down and up-and-down along Lincoln Road and the other 5 visit the brightly lit up Ocean Drive with crowds of tourists. 

We eventually made it all to the top of Lincoln Road and like a hungry pride of lions stalking a little springbokkie in the Kruger, we hunted down Mexican Restaurant, a (you guessed it) Mexican restaurant in Lincoln Road, Miami. Veggie tacos, steak tacos and chicken burrito’s made a bunch of hungry South Africans very happy. 

We are departing for El Salvador at 10:45 am (17:45 pm, South African time) and looking forward to meeting up with Dylan and Camila. See you on that side.

Have a great day!

The day has come that the SA SUP Team will be traveling 12495 km to El Salvador. Boards, paddles, boardies and bikinis are packed for a two-week Central American trip to compete against countries all around the world. Dylan Frick has been checking out the waves for the last two days and the rest of the team will meet them in El Salvador on Thursday.

You can stay in touch with the team by following them on Instagram (@supsouthafrica and @sasupteam), Facebook (@Stand Up Paddling South Africa) and the news page on the SUPSA website for daily updates. There will also be a live video share on all the action on the official ISA event page.
