Luis Rey Hernandez feels safe and happy when he's on his surfboard, riding waves off the shores of Acapulco.
But when he's not inside the barrel of a wave, the 17-year-old surfer has to navigate the rough streets of the resort city on Mexico's Pacific coast.
Luis Rey, a rising star who became national champion in the under-18 category in June and is known as "The King," has heard shootouts. He once saw a body lying on the street.
