Chelsea Tuach Wanders Through El Salvador

El Salvador is a wonderful place. It’s not exactly number one on a surfer’s bucket list, but it’s certainly not unknown. It’s a land of right-hand point breaks and beautiful scenery, but it’s got its shortcomings—back in 2016, the LA Times called it the “murder capital of the world,” and (much like anywhere else), travelers are often warned about the possible dangers of the place. Chelsea Tuach headed there in the second of a series where she steps away from her competitive lifestyle and “travels to a place where she can simply surf with her heart, slow down, and absorb a new culture.”
