Daydream Lineup


We woke up to this dreamy lineup on Day 2.
150 yard long lefts anyone?

I believe that I snapped this after surfing all morning, and finally
coming in when I couldn't paddle anymore
(that's a great feeling by the way, highly recommended!)

Casa

This place ended up being a wonderful place to settle in for a week


Hammocks on the deck


Tropical plants everywhere


Some nice local building handiwork

First Glance


After a long day of travelling, we checked in
to find this view of the point from our casa

Packing Up


One afternoon, I pulled all of my boards and gear out into the yard
and almost ended up with a stowaway in my boardbag....

August

This summer, a couple of friends and I decided to take a break from the everyday busyness, and head south in search of south swell, some shade, cervezas, and some adventure in the tropics.

Here is what we found....

Passport Required


Of course, sometimes you have to venture far from home in order to find
dream waves that won't soon be forgotten.
Remembering is a bit easier when someone gets of shot of you like this.

Hot Curl

Winter Spot


Winter is a great time to take a chance
on one of those out-of-the-way spots....

Here is a trio of lineup shots for you....

Surf camping is a blast, especially when you're waking up to this!

A Beauty!

Here's an exceptionally sweet Mark Andreini single fin,
from a quiver that is pointbreak-centric

Note the classic image of MP under the glass

Heart In Your Mouth



No words for this....

Hunting Tools


Hunting down this type of groundswell requires the right tool for the job


Here is a mighty fine example of just such a tool,
courtesy of the skilled hands of heart of
Master Surfboard Craftsman, Malcolm Campbell

Winter Swell


Let's start with some beautiful lineup shots from part of that
fine run of NW swell that hit this winter.

Been A While....

It's been way, way too long since I've posted any new stuff on here.

Luckily, I've collected a few pictures in the time in between, so here it goes....
