Puerto Rican native Alejandro Gomez Lopez has taken his quest for adventure out of PR and into Deerfield Beach.
He and his friends washed up at Island Water Sports, the local surf shop and treasure trove for avid beachgoers. Upon discovering its weekly free Saturday morning surf lessons, Gomez discovered a newfound love for this water sport that unites daredevils and tourists.
Surfing has become something spiritual for Gomez. He loves the mental and physical sensation.
“After all the time trying to get up on that wave, when I finally got up, I was just laughing,” he says.
