Troncones Mexico – Part 3
Sunday May 9th Sunday myself and 3 others opted out of driving back to El Rancho to go fishing instead. I was pretty surfed out at this point and figured a morning off might be a good idea. We hired a local Pescador named Samba. Samba is located way at the north end of the [...]
Troncones Mexico – Part 2
Saturday May 8th On Saturday morning we surfed Troncones again. The waves were fun early though a bit smaller than the day before. One of our crew got blasted on the inside and took a few urchin spinos to the foot. Luckily it was on the top of his foot and he was able to [...]
Troncones Mexico – Part 1
Myself and a few friends managed a mini Mexican vacation last week. Spent five days on Manzanillo Bay, 40 minutes outside of Zihuatanejo–walking distance from a couple surf spots. We stayed in a place called Merece Tus Suenos. Super nice, and not too spendy when you’re splitting the cost with a friend or two. The [...]
Maui Trip
Myself and a handful of friends hit Maui for a wedding/Halloween/surf mission. This time of year, the northside of the island is really the only side that gets swell. Nic, JR, Brock, SeanBro and myself all stuck to Ho’okipa which is about a 15 min drive east of the airport (JOJ). We surfed it for [...]
My first two weeks in Costa Rica
No shoes, no shirt, all the service you need. I want to spend the rest of my life in bare feet or worst case, flip flops. Day 1. Arrived at the surf camp mid afternoon. Settled in to our room and checked out the scene. Nice waves right out front at the Tamarindo beach break [...]
Red Mountain Canada – New Years 2009
Myself and a few friends went up to Red Mountain BC for the New Years weekend. The drive there was gnar. Snow started in North Bend and didn’t end. At all. The 6ish hour drive to Red Mountain took quite a bit longer than expected. We arrived on day one for a half-day session. No [...]
Costa Rica, Part 3 – Tamarindo/San Jose
Otter and i had a few days left on the Costa trip. Rather than stay in Mal Pais, we devised a plan to drive to Samara. Getting from Mal Pais to Samara during the rainy season (of which we were in the tail end) required driving quite a ways inland and around a little mtn. [...]
Costa Rica, Part 2 – Mal Pais/Santa Teresa
After about four days in one place i started getting antsy and decided to bail. Pavones was hands down the mellowest place we hit on the Costa trip–and leaving when it was overhead didn’t seem right but we bailed anyways. Alex the taxi guy picked us up at 4am and we b-lined it to the [...]
Costa Rica, Part 1 – Pavones
Otter and i just got back from a 2 week stint in Costa Rica. We caught the tail end of the rainy season in every place we went around the country – Tamarindo, Samara, Santa Teresa/Mal Pais. We started in Pavones. We got to San Jose late in the evening 9/22 and posted up at [...]
Costa Rica Trip 2K8
I quit my job. In doing so i managed a few weeks of joblessness. What would YOU do with 2 weeks of no job? Sit on your ass and relax? Drink a lot? Sleep? Surf? Well that’s what im gonna be doing also. But it’ll be in beautiful Costa Rica. A friend and i are [...]
