Thursday, June 3. I’m Brittny Mejia, coming to you from Los Angeles.
Times staff writer Kevin Baxter takes us on a journey to a 13-mile stretch of Salvadoran shoreline that has turned into one of the world’s newest surfing meccas thanks, in part, to Californians.
It’s a spot where the waves are so ripe and the water so warm, tourism officials are hoping it can repair the country’s battered image while the International Surfing Assn. has chosen it as the location of the final qualifying rounds for the debut of surfing as an Olympic sport this summer.

Tyler J. East, born Jan. 24, 1991, passed away on April 5, 2021.
Tyler was a kind, warm and loving person. He had a huge heart and an old soul, with a smile and twinkle in his eyes that would light up the room. Anywhere he went, he would stand out like a sore thumb, being he was a giant, gentle giant, who loved animals and rescued many in his short life.
Tyler was a gifted athlete and was always in competition with his older brother, Cody East. Tyler played sports from the age of 10; he accomplished many titles and medals; he was very driven and had one speed â fast!
