skates & rays

Thanks! We LOVE our family trips to Z & appreciate your forum MUCHO!

I've shared that tip with the kids, but it still is in the back of my mind when they're body surfing. I've had 2 fellow travelers get barbed over the years. But the thought of it happening to one of the kids is something I worry about, for sure!

There were plenty of manta playing in the break on la Ropa the last couple of years, but they don't seem to pose much treat to the swimmers.
However, these little skates were THICK down in Barra de Potosi a few years ago & they really like to nestle down into the sand.
We came upon this unfortunate lil fella & took it as an opportunity to teach the kids (now 7 & 11yrs) of why we have to be careful & what could happen.
