Viva La Mexico
Well I was headed back out to California to hang with the one and only Jeff Weatherall (pro wakeboarder from New Zealand/fellow Astars rider) when I get the call from him at the airport letting me know that we are headed straight down to Mexico the next morning to surf, and hang with a bunch of his friends for a few days. My past Mexico road trip experiences have been pretty hellacious, mix in an adrenaline junky Kiwi, and a trip sponsored by Peligroso Tequilla, Needless to say, I was a little nervous.haha Trip ended up going awesome, got some fun waves, and met a ton of new friends from much different walks of life. On our trip we had pro wakeboarders Scotty Broom and Jeff Wetherall, pro snowboarder Marius Otterstad, Pro Moto racer Ami Houde, Insane musicians Cindy Santini, Marc Beauregard, and Kellen Malloy, Pro female surfer/photog Leah Dawson, photographer Jen Jones, and of course we brought our favorite lawyer Becky Mendoza just incase anything popped off.haha We had a few sketchy moments crossing the boarder with passports from several different countries, some with expired visas, and missing pages,ha, but lucky for everyone in our car I purchased a Lucha Libre Mask from one of the street vendors, so they passed us through no questions asked....haha All in all it was an amazing trip, we didn't get the best surf, but we all had a blast and got our fill of world class roadside tacos....
