MaggieMay - Your Husband
Richardo was one of the first guys I met at Encuentro. I overheard him talking to one of the younger kids about my tatoo - "see that's old school". I got my coffee and went over introduced myself and told him the story behind the ink.
He's always been friendly in and out of the water. One of my first times there, I whistled him that I was on the wave - very uncool as a visitor. I paddled back and apologized. "Lo siento, new guy has no business calling off a local." He just said "no man that was your wave". Never forgot that, hope he did, ha. For that matter, I can't think of a place I've been where there were more than just a couple guys in the water where the locals are friendlier. But I've traveled and live in a place that gets crowded in the summer, I know how to behave (usually that is)
A gentlemen and good ambassador for North coast surfing. Looking forward to the event. Nice job.
