Mike Vallely is one of my childhood heroes — the guy rips skating and has always given it 150%. I last had the pleasure of watching him ‘destroy’ stuff skating at Slam City Jam a couple years ago in BC. Still doing comps and demos — this story about his recent trip to Mexico City… Continue reading Mike V does a demo in Mexico

I left off the Week 1 report with “it’s half done – go time!!”. Well thankfully that’s what we did — at least for 3 days. With Marc staying on for an extra 3 days due to the promise of some decent swell hitting Sunday and Monday; we fell into a beautiful routine of Burros… Continue reading Mexico Week 2
The first week surfing has been super fun. Took a good 3 days to get some of the kooky-ness worked out. Board survived the plane ride in the new bag. Solid hot hot days and not too much wind. Still very dry here and not a drop of rain had fallen. We’ve been surfing at… Continue reading Mexico Week 1 – The Real Report

Our flight had been changed on us so we got to spend a lovely half day lounging on the floor of the PVR (Puerto Vallarta) airport ’til our plane finally took off at 1:30am. Sore butts all ’round. Mexico was once again spectacular, and splitting the vacation into… Continue reading Back from Mexico
We’re going back to Mexico in a month and a bit. It was so good last time that how could we not? Two of my best friends are getting hitched – instead of doing a wedding in Montréal, they’ve invited their families and friends to join them in Mexico for 1 week. Should be about… Continue reading Mexico 2007

Short report from paradise … went for a hike yesterday (south of town) looking for a beach called playa de meurtos … on the road there must have been 100 geckos scittering about … the beach had a couple rocks that moved when you walked towards them – really just black-red crabs .. who knew… Continue reading Mexico part 3
More things I have learned … Waves over 7 foot will take you out quickly Bring water proof bandaids .. you’re feet take a beating !! Gecko’s rule .. especially in your living room Having bats living in your ceiling prevents musquitos The sun should not be taken for granted .. it will not you… Continue reading Mexico part 2
