    Thank you for sharing. That’s the coolest story I’ve read in a long time. It harkens back to a simpler, more laid-back time. My favorite photograph from the article is this cool mix of chill and hell.

      Is that a handgun sticking out of that guy’s swimming shorts?

        Sure is, and the other guy has an ak-47 over his shoulder. They were in a part of the world with pirates, freedom fighters, and warlords. The article details that this area had recently been overrun by pirates, and they were looting the town not far from the beach. They had to smooth talk their way past a government checkpoint to even be allowed there. USA Special Forces troops weren’t allowed through, and were pissed when the surfers got past.

          Be me, Spec Ops

          Stuck in Libya, can’t get past gov checkpoins without firefights.

          Finally make it through and can continue my mission.

          There’s an American already here, holding a surfboard.
