Back on the westcoast

Posted on 2013/06/16by admin

After spending a couple of perfect days in La Paz Erica, Dylan and I headed north. If I didn´t mention we bumped in to Dylan at the ferry and decided to tag along to Loreto. After talking for a while it turned out that we were going to the same places and had about the same amount of time doing it. Instead of traveling together only to Loreto the new plan is to travel together all the way to Ensenadas.

We spent the night in Loreto and had breakfast with when of Dylan´s friends he met on the way down here. We hit the road again, but only drove for about one hour before we found this beautiful beach with now people and warm water. After one hour or so at the beach it was time to start putting some km behind us.

We drove through mountains, dessert and a fog dessert the stretched for hours. Finally we showed up on the pacific side again at a place called Bahia Asuncion. We staying at a place called Bufdor Inn which is owned by a Canadian called Shari.
That’s it for now and hopefully there will be some waves here tomorrow ….

Tonight we are going to try out some Mexican microbrewery beer. Later

Dolphins, Rays, Sea Lions and Sweds in La Paz, Mexico

Posted on 2013/06/142014/11/02by admin

Erica and I left Mazatlan a couple days ago. On the ferry we meet two Mexican guys and one guy from US. To make a long storie short the American guy Dylan have a Toyota Land Cruiser which he have been traveling around with the past 8 months down in central America. The good thing is that he has the same time schedule getting up to Ensenadas in northern Mexico. Just like that Erica and I got a ride all the way through Baja California.

Before leaving La Paz we heard that some people spotted orcas a couple days ago at the island a couple km out. We booked the trip and made Dylan come with us.

We didn’t see any orcas on the trip but we did see a lot of other animals.

After the trip we jumped into the car and hurried up to a coast town called Loreto. Tomorrow we talking of early and heading for the pacific once again

I’m soooo happy!

Surfing Puerto Escondido and Zihuatanejo Mexico – Go Pro view

Posted on 2013/06/102014/11/02by admin

Since El Salvador I haven’t uploaded that much pictures or movies of me surfing. It was hard to perform better than I was doing those couple of days.

In Guatemala I didn´t get any recordings at all, but up in Mexico I finally scored again. As I wrote earlier a really big swell hit the coast the last couple of days and a point break that only works when the swell is bigger than at least six feet went of.

The first day I was out there I was sitting by myself with 30 Mexicans. The next day Erica and I had changed hotel and ended up staying at a local surfer’s house. I can tell you that it was easier catching waves that day when I showed up with him and his son compared to the day before.

The dad was good but the kid was even better. Last year he competed for the Mexican team down in Panama. The last wave in the video was recorded or shot from a guy in the water. Hopefully Ill be able to get those shots.

4 pm today the ferry leavs the dock here in Mazatlan.
We are of for Baja.

Surf Point Break in Zihuatanejo, Mexico

Posted on 2013/06/092014/11/02by admin

From Puerto Escondido Erica and I travelled four hours north to place called Ixtapa. We found out that Ixtapa is more like a resort town and we had some hard time finding a reasonable priced hotel. After a while we ended up paying 400 pesos a night. We spent my 26th birthday on Isla the Ixtapa. Erica hand planned everything and the snorkeling there was amazing.

After a couple of days a big swell hit the whole coast and all the beaches were closing out. After studying the map and forecast I found a place that might work on that kind of swell and boy it did. This is just a couple of photos from there. The movie will be up in a day or so.

Later tonight we going to jump on a 16 hour buss to Mazatlan. We going to spend one night there before catching the ferry over to Baja California and La Paz.

Surfboard snapping in Puerto Escondido, Mexico

Posted on 2013/06/012014/11/02by admin

Today I snapped my board. I always thought that snapping my first board would be me and a big close out barrel, that wasn´t the case.
I was paddling out between two rocks at La Punta in Puerto Escondido. The current was strong and dragged me close to one of the rocks so I decided to turn around and paddle in again. When I was paddling back in a “steep” wave caught me and I went over the falls whit the board in front of me. Since it was shallow the noose of the board got stock in the bottom. Unfortunately one of the fins got stock in my thigh and when I got back up at the beach to board was snapped in to places. Like that wasn´t all the current caught me again walking through the caves back to the beach and I dinged the nose of the board. Ill guess I have been lucky so far, but this suck.

The good thing about snapping the board was that I snapped the board in Puerto Escondido. I bet they fix snapped boards everyday here. I left it in the morning at 10 and then picked it up at 4pm. Since the board was snapped I told the guy that if he wanted to he could paint something Mexican on it. Well I guess that information didn´t go all the way, or he might feel something for the country which language he speak.

Puerto Escondido

Posted on 2013/05/302013/05/30by admin

Finally we arrived to Puerto Escondido even though the buss from Tapachula ended up taking 12 hours instead of 8. We got here at noon, and then spent the rest of the day waling around to get to now the place a bit. The next day we figured out what beaches that had any waves and then walked to one of the smaller once since the main beach “aka” Mexican Pipline were suppose to be huge. We got the a beach called Carizarillo. It is probably one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches I ever seen. Especially after all the dirty and almost black beaches in Guatemala. To bad the waves wasn´t as good as the beach was clean. In the afternoon the wind picked up a lot since a smaller Hurricane hit south of here, and I didn´t go out at all. We can defiantly feel that it´s hurricane season now.

Tomorrow we are planning to wake up earlie and try out “La Punta” or the point down at Zicatela.

IN MEXICO!!!

Posted on 2013/05/27by admin

Erica and I spent a couple of days in Paredon. I only surfed twice there since the waves were kind of closing out. After that we went up to northern Guatemala, another small fishing village called Tilapa. On the way to Tilapa we passed through Doles and Chiquitas banana plantation. Endless fields of banana trees.
In Tilapa we stayed at the beach once again. Unfortunately the waves was even worse here and I didn´t go out at all, we still had some good days with a lot of tanning. I also got some time to get restarted with my old alwaysinwater project.
I snaped some photos of some driftwood covered in fishing net. Seems like it´s a lot of ghost net floating around there in the ocean…

At the moment we are sitting at a internet café in Tapachula. From here we going to catch a ten hour bus to Puerto Esondido. If the surf isn´t good there I don´t think there is any surfable waves anywhere 😉

Guatemala – Paredon

Posted on 2013/05/22by admin

After some more days of travelling and a night in Escuintla Erica and I finally arrive to Paredon a small fishing village in Guatemala. We are staying in a two floor bungalow with a perfect ocean view. The only thing we are waiting for now is the waves. Last night was a night off thunderstorms rain and wind, so the water is still a bit rough after that.
Well i guess I can´t complain since the surf actually starts to look better now 😉

Later /Sebas

Close to the surf

Posted on 2013/05/182013/05/18by admin

After one night up in the mountain we are finally back on the coast again 😉 The place we are staying at now is probably the hostels closest to the surf I ever stayed at. It literally breaks against the hostel and the surf is just out there. Erica snapped the surf photos sitting in the hammock. She might actually enjoy taking photos from now on 🙂

After the surf I walked up and down the beach taking photos. The house on the cliff might be our future house if the price is right 😉 I also meet this guy who collected oysters. Hi sells them to restaurants for 10$ a dozen, and he had oysters worth about 30$ when he came in. For El Salvador that’s a really good income for two hours work.
