I took a week trip to El Salvador to visit Adrian Wigston. For those who don’t know Adrian, he was in Washington on and off the last couple of years. He’s an avid whitewater kayaker. Adrian is extremely friendly and inclusive among new friends. From Washington (and San Diego, Maryland, etc) , Adrian ran a surfing travel business based in Playa El Tunco (beach of the pig), El Salvaldor where he would organize travel & accommodations and provide local knowledge of the surf, food and attractions.

Adrian’s dream was to move to El Salvador and expand his business to a yoga studio, workout gym and hotel. When I was down there, he had the architectural drawings ready to go and construction was underway in a phased approach for two buildings to accommodate the vision. As I write this, he should be beginning his first yoga classes. The dream is alive!

During my stay I surfed every morning with Adrian, visited a museum, went on a coffee plantation tour, hiked into a waterfall for some cliff jumping, and took in the local attractions in Playa El Tunco. The surfing season is from March to November. The river season is June to October. El Salvador’s kayaking is largely undocumented, however this season Adrian will be exploring the local gradient and by next year should be able to recommend kayaking options during the rainy season.

I can highly recommend this adventure for not only surfing/kayaking but for significant others that may be interested in other local attractions. Adrian can be contacted at:
