Two years into El Salvador’s grand cryptocurrency experiment, things aren’t looking good. Some experts believe that El Salvador’s BTC stash, which it started buying in the summer of 2021, is worth around $61.3 million — a$40 million loss on its investment.

Worldly economic uncertainty aside, the above surfing filmed by Marcelo Dada at El Sal’s warm cobblestone point is a (somewhat) reliable commodity.

Buying low and selling high is the ultimate goal with investments, and if you could have somehow bought stock in Ethan Ewing’s cutbacks early on, you could now buy a lot of DHD surfboards.

In the days leading up to the contest, Punta Roca has been providing. Click above for the kind of surfing we hope to see at every single CT stop on tour, and let’s hope the contest window follows suit.
