The government did an incredible job of fighting criminals and making El Salvador safe. I watched your heats; some luck should have been missed. Have fun and prepare for the next season!

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Thanks so much 🙏

At the same time he is abusing his power by putting innocent people in prison along the way. I don't know what it's constitution says about this, but innocents are also in prison Knowingly.

[@Lakey_Peterson]

[@belle-bird128]

Amazing surfing in El Salvador. I'm from Snapper escaping Winter and over here it is one of the most consistent waves I've experienced, warm water year round and the locals are the best. It reminds me a bit of Burleigh Heads and also Chunggu in Bali about 10 years ago. So greatful to experience this amazing world we live in. Wishing you all the best🌊🌴🌺

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Good to hear you’ve been able to enjoy El Salvador also 🙌 👌 such an incredible place. Thanks 🙏

[@dylanjamesfilms]

crazy intro with the heli

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Thanks 🙏

[@yZstarAk1979]

Was there in the late 90's; changed alot, but the break looks the same. Thanks for the post!

[@Lakey_Peterson]

No problem!

[@amuseher]

I wish to explore ES one day...soon. These amazing surfers make it look easy.

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Definitely worth the trip 👌

[@RocksNClocks]

Dude almost killed someone at 6:56. Reckless vibe.

[@markuse3472]

Good eye. They do what they want just for views and, when they hurt or "kill" someone, then and only then are they sorry.

[@nelsonmelgar3975]

Looks lots of fun And by the way, say hi to President Nayib Bukele it for me

[@Lakey_Peterson]

It was fun for sure 👍

[@jonahhex9620]

Sorry, have been traveling alot and not able to get online as much. Hoping your tour is going well, dropped in to see how you're doing

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Travel sounds fun! I won’t be competing until 2025 but things are very good thanks for asking. 🙏

[@yZstarAk1979]

Solid surfing. Like your style girl🤙

Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪; We have the same name Rocky Point= Punta Rocas surf break Playa 🏄‍♂️ 🌊 🏄‍♀️ 🌊 Remember in 60s late like 1966 The World Surfing Association Did The International Surfing Contest Surfers around the world meet there Peruvian surfer Felipe Pomar won 🏆 after that the same organization trip to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 1968 International surfing contest Playa Rincon🎉 Australian surfer Nat Young won 🏆 with new Shortboards( revolutionary surfboards single fin).🎉 We hope to have the opportunity of your New SurfFilm soon. 🏄‍♀️ 🌊 🏄‍♂️

[@Lakey_Peterson]

No way! Such some cool history in here. Peru looks just as amazing as El Salvador. Will have to add it to the list of places to go 👌

[@timwannell6477]

Lakey, honestly I can’t stand the surf comps. I think it reduces such a beautiful activity down to a soulless and brutally subjective money maker honestly. I’ve seen another comment on here and I echo exactly the same thing, I would love to see you make a surf movie of your travels and just having fun and showing us all how good the Surff life really is rather than the stereo version which these comps want so much. You’re a sick surfer, always love your videos. God bless 🙏

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Thanks for the nice words! I’m actually puting together a surf movie with one of my sponsors over the next few months… stay tuned

[@KurtTank392]

First , really enjoy content. Gabriela Bryan was in your way, similar to last year. Must have a plan B, plan A doesnt seem to be getting the results you have trained for. Beat aussies

[@isrealromero2032]

👍🏻🥭🥭🥭😃🥭

[@Lakey_Peterson]

🙌

[@user-dj1ok6qe6w]

I'm from Japan. You haven't been winning lately. Training is good, but why don't you take a fresh look at your own surfing? Don't let free surfing end with just being a good girl.

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Thanks for the tips 🙌

[@bullit4x]

Some people get wet, and some people feel the rain. Which one are you?

[@Lakey_Peterson]

Hahaha

[@mikeuptegrove]

Dump the tour, see if you can get the sponsors to send you on a style trip to film a video part and just have fun and work on your own style, rather than try to surf to get the judges to give you the points you need. They obviously want something that you’re not giving them, so F’um. You were surfing well and they weren’t feeling it, and at this point it sorta feels like what they want from you is just bringing you down and forcing you to put your surfing into their box. Go ride some alternative boards, stack some clips and good times, screw them. You’d probably make more progress going on some epic trips with the hubby and just forgetting about everything else.

[@xwhite2020]

😅😅😅 oh my if only you knew.

[@mikeuptegrove]

@@xwhite2020 ???

[@xwhite2020]

@@mikeuptegrove oh man I'm torn, should we tell you what "hubby" does for a living or just leave you in ignorant bliss. Yeah we'll just leave you in ignorant bliss.

[@Lakey_Peterson]

The tour is for sure hard and I agree about the judging veering away from speed and style in their criteria. In saying that I didn’t show my full potential this year in heats so definitely wanting to come back next year. Me and hubby are actually locking in a few cool trips right now. And you’re spot on!!! I’ve been all over the alternative boards lately 👌✌🏻

[@mikeuptegrove]

@@xwhite2020 isn’t he like a PT for the tour guys? Is that a full position or is he an independent contractor? And? Lakey can’t have a free surf career and progress in her own way because of that? I don’t get it.
