The Time Has Come

Well I am about to paddle out for my last surf here in El Salvador. It has been fun the people are way cool and surf was for the most part good. I have learned how to make my cutbacks and round houses more powerful and many other helpful surfing tips. I am ready to get back to newps and gouge out the shoulders with what I have learned. It was cool to be able to sit in the line up and see some world class surfing right in front of me and then to be able to ask questions when the pros paddled back out. All in all I would say it was a good trip I didnt even have to use my AK or in this case my sawed off shotgun (see photos) Also I took a panoramic photo of the whole bay from the middle at low tide. It kinda make this place look like a island crazy but. ENJOY!

Jungle Walk

The surf has kinda backed off a little today its only chest high. But I took the afternoon off to go for a little jungle walk. It was cool. Really green and lots of bugs to check out. Its kinda crazy to really see and ant with a leaf 10 times its size walking across the the path. Kind like the stuff you see on the Discovery channel. Well not to much to say other then that. ENJOY!

El Salvador The Beginning

Well I made it to El Salvador in one piece. The flight was good kinda bumpy, and when we were coming into land it felt like we were going to drop out of the ski. There were a lot of clouds that day. But anyways we made it and after a two hour car ride we made it to the camp. We hit some traffic (cows). But made it here just in time for some mango pancakes and hit the surf. The surf is good. The wave run forever with out a section. It took me all day to figure out how to surf it with out any sections to hit. But I got it down. The surf is going to get bigger on wed. so I will be stoked for that. The camp here is amazing two pools, A/C in the rooms, and the best view of the break from my bed.  I posted photos of the bay from the point and the view from my room and some of the pool. ENJOY!

Mopeds On Fox

So I'm just sitting there waiting for Family Guy to start watching a little King of the Hill and what shows up a moped. And not just any moped my moped a red tomos. It was freaking amazing I had to go look it up it was air for the first time back in 1998 the episode was called Three Days in the Kahndo. The store goes something like this Hank, Dale and Kahn head down to Mexico for a nice trip well they get their identification confiscated and they have to pay 10,000 pesos. Well they believe that they will not need them to get back across because they are white. So they put there Asian friend in the trunk and head for the border. But they get scared at the last min and end up trading  their belongings for mopeds and head down the Rio Grande. It was good. ENJOY!

The End Of An Era

This weekend was a sad sad day in the skate world. HB took the first step in doing what they do best (getting rid of history).  The put up the fence around the school but more important the skatepark. The park was made in 1994 and has many memories for me and many other. I broke my leg there learning how to grid down a rail. I did my first flip trick over the pyramid. I hoped to one day take my kids there and teach them to skate but no longer will this dream have a chance. you can read all about the reasons at  www.ocregister.com/news/park-school-council-1978683-distict-meeting. The sad thing is that more pro skaters have come out of that park then pro football player have come from HB. I went down today to take part of the flat rail but not to my surprise it was already gone. But I have a clue to who has it. Well another one bites the dust. ENJOY!

Im Brave

I went down and saw The Bravery on Friday at the Del Mar Race Track. It was a good time. The show was put on by 91X. The show had the same feel as the show in Ventura. Minus the beer, condom and joint being thrown at the the singer oh and we cant for get the the Bouncers. In Ventura you would get thrown out for dancing. But all in all the show was good. Here are some photos and video for all you that missed out. ENJOY!
