Eugenio was the CEO (Chief Experience Officer) who was with us throughout our Nicaraguan trip. Here he took some time off while the others received lessons, to do some surfing of his own.

Here, Eugenio waxed the surface of his board external link to make it non-slippery. Because it was borrowed wax, he only waxed the board where his weight would rest while paddling out and when standing.
