Let me tell you a little story of a little cabin called Pinahua - Casa de Surf

Once upon a time there was a Cabin not so far away from the City of Manta on the Coast of Ecuador. This high pitched cabin offered a unimaginable view on the pacific ocean and an addiction to surfing to any bodyboard amature who dared spend one night in this isolated paradise. 5 fellow men were part of this 5 day experience - Miguel, Yannick, Johny Montes and Stephen (also known as Esteban).


It´s fellow guests had the unique opportunity to rest in modest, yet comfortable, tents. Waking up every morning to a splendid oceanic view and to the relaxing sound of the nearby surfable waves.

Pinahua main interior - you must imagine that the view is right onto the beach.


Upstairs - jamming with the ocean waves.


A growing addiction to bodyboarding forced any amature to get up bright and early to catch lucious waves.



On his way down to the coast he finds very clever the local engineering of "bamboo staircases".



Arrived on the road... the bodyboard can make one with the ocean, for there isn´t anyone else.


After a session of bodyboarding, the bodyboard amature can´t help but say "Yeah baby, hold on...don´t just fall in love because I surf! I´m also an artist"

"Oh baby, but I surf too"

"And play guitar"

"Yeah, were such Dudes!"


Lacking of inspiration, they cruise away in the Pinahua mobile.

Johny follows with his bike.

Cruising away yet to another mystical spot.

Yes, a soccer field with a nice view.

A trail in the mountain/jungle coast...that lead us to a hidden spot.


Walking up a mountain trail with the supposedly "athletic" bodyboarder (he´s tired haha)

In this land of tales and fantasy, I seem to have returned to my very first ages of teenagehood (I am quite small)

ARGH DONT HAVE ENOUGH TIME, ENJOY!!!
