Surfing Puerto Escondido

It's been about two years since I have been down to Puerto Escondido. However, i recently came across some videos from that trip and decided to load them up to YT.

This first one was of a medium sized wave that opened up for a long barrel into the inside. This was actually my first wave that I took off on during that vacation, and it was a great way to start things off.



On the same day, I got a number of other similar waves that seemed to open up for easy tube rides. This one felt like I could have driven a VW bus through it.

Re-Living the past in a Westfalia

OK, so we all like to live a bit back in the high school glory days. Well, for me the glory days are largely summed up by a couple of vehicles which made it all happen. Very high up on that list would be my 1969 Wesfalia camper, which was a hand-me-down from our grandfather.

Here is a very darn close example of one on eBay.



This one even happens to be photographed right along the same stretch of beach that I used to 'cruise' during high school to check out the surf on a daily, or even sometimes hourly basis. I might have to place a bid for the heck of it.
