re the newest Patagonia catalogue:

There's a tube photo of Greg Long by Ant Fox. Does anyone know where that was taken? Are you willing to share that info, even if its just revealing the country? I would guess somewhere in Central America.

In regards to the topic of this thread, the thinf Ive always loved about surfing is that when you drop in and shoot down the line, you are nowhere else. Your mind is totally free from the outside world: moving meditation. Yeah, Id say the stoke is sweeter after a good wave, but everything is so short lived.

And working on a boat has ruined my perception about sharks. You hear about more sightings, you see more, it sucks. I know the probability isnt changed, but the mental exposure is blown wide open.

Climbing gives me that same mental liberation, but for hours and hours on end.

And no sharks.

maximum imesho in the hollow x size factor.

Puerto Escondido October 2017: I'm a sucker for south of the US boarder surfing videos, and I hadn't seen this before.

Speaking of Puerto...

Gary Linden, a hero of mine, at age 65 taking a serious beating. I met him at the Boardroom show two years ago. I have a photo with him somewhere.

I think I would rather get that wave than climb anything. We can officially end this thread.

I got tired just watching that video. Now I need a siesta.

QUESTION for Cabo surfers: Just booked a trip to Cabo for AUG 22-29. Staying is Costa Azul on the beach, walkable to Zippers, et.al.. How is it that time of year?

At the surf hotel? Old Mans is right in front, Costa Azul is slightly to the left and for zippers you have to navigate some rocks around the point or a trail on the bluff and then a 400-yard beachwalk. This is all tide dependent. Medium tides are best although you can take advantage of some nice hit sections caused by the exposed rocks at Costa Azul at low tide.

The locals down there suck and particularly at Zippers. The locals learned to hate the day a direct flight from Long Beach started 20 some odd years ago with the resulting influx of greedy Orange County surfers.


Check out Shipwrecks on the East Cape, Tule Wash towzrds Cabo and Cerritos on the Pacific side.

And what D2 said

Gunkie, it sounds like you surfed blacks in the past. If you like beach breaks, there are occasionally great sand bars around Playitas or the old El Presidente Hotel in San Jose del Cabo.
