Send off

After more than 3 months living out of each others pockets, getting hell waves and consuming more than 350 litres of beer in total, the 3 amigos were no more - Taylor ‘the prophet’ had to bail to LA then onto London to work in bars and mop floors or something fun like that. More than an appropriate reason to break invest in a bunch of longneck Coronas, break out the tequila and spark up the cigars. So after an afternoon beachie session at Zigatella, we kicked back, got deep, got stoked on all the waves we pulled apart on tour, and made complete messes of ourselves.

Regaining consciousness the next morning, I was kindly visited by a cracking headache - the sort the only drops by post tequila. Nothing to keep us down, the only cure was our take on a mexican breakfast - eggs, toast, beans, powerade, fresh juice, coffee and beers.

With Taylor out of here, Jim and I relocated to Aqua Luna - the Aussie run and Aussie overrun hotel  complete with pool, bar, jacuzzi and epic views over Zigatella and Mex Pipe. Tay’s bus was leaving that night which gave the lads enough time to smoke up the last of the cigars and treat ourselves to a few more conronas. We did deserve it.

Back with the boys again

It took about a week of cyber bullying James ‘Humble Pie’ Lawrence to get off the Guatemalan tourist trail and get to Mexico for waves with the boys. So when he eventually arrived after 28 hours of bus travel, levels skyrocketed cracking 90%+. One look at young Lawrence's face and he was pretty impressed to be in Puerto, or he could have been impressed with the fact he was still alive. Expecting his arrival in Puerto around 10am, Taylor and I knew something had gone wrong when he still hadn’t arrived at 2pm. So we went for a surf. Eventually getting in, ‘Humble Pie’ Lawrence tells us of a bus a couple ahead of his bus that went up in flames. 2 hours later he eventually passes the incinerated buses skeleton, knowing full well that know he is in Mexico.

Mex storming

As the swell started to die after a week, the afternoons were lashed with some pretty incredible storms.

Coopers in Mexico

The Coopers brand seems to have pulling power in Mexico. Found this Coopers surfboard snapped in half on Zigatella Beach - a bar had stuck the board in the sand with a sign on it promoting their 10 peso (less than $1) all day 'happy hour'. Patriotism compelled us to treat ourselves, even if they didn't sell Coopers.

Busing to burritos

Antigua to Guatermala City to Tapachula to Puerto Escondito, Mexico - 26 hours of bus travel. Greeted with the beginning of a new 7ft swell building to 10ft in the next 2 days. Offshore winds, Zigatella Beach right on our doorstep, burritos and 1 litre Corona longnecks. Was 26 hours of straight travel worth it? Shit yeah.
