The Bay of Petacalco stretches from Zijhuatenejo to Lazaro Cardenas. The wave rich Guerrero state consists of thumping beach breaks, reefs and at least two incredible left rivermouth cobblestone point/reef breaks. There are several things that I really love about this region....
Today’s surf session was at a hard breaking
hollow sand bar with a fairly strong
current pulling north up the beach at
about 8’-10’ faces with bigger sets.
Reminds me a lot of Puerto Escondido
power wise, but the shape was way better.
We lined up just South of a power pole
that was South of two large logs on
the beach. Everyone got some KILLER
waves...
Baja
Surf Adventures Northern Baja resort
is located beachfront just outside of
Quatro and Camalu. This region is known
to pick up swells from just about any
direction. Featuring all the amenities...
One thing you learn about Barbados is
that there are urchins. The last thing
you want to do is try to paddle out
anywhere without knowing where and how
to go. Just ask anyone and they’ll
show you the obvious and easy paths......
If you haven’t heard of the island
of Florianopolis, Brazil yet, you should
look into this place and get yourself
familiar. Locals call the place “Floripa”
(pronounced flor-ree-pah) and those
who have been there know it as “Ilha
Magica”, or “Magic Island”..........
Indonesia
consists of more than 10,000 islands,
so as you can imagine the probability
for world class surf is pretty high.
That's what brought some friends from
San Diego and myself to charter a boat
in the Mentawais for 10 days.......
No major airports. A paved road along
the coast only completed in the 1980s.
Many areas still without electricity.
Nobody out at many firing surf spots
visible from the main road. This is
Michoacán, probably the most
consistent surfing region in all of
Mexico......
It’s a steamy morning in the cradle
of Polynesia. Who could blame writer
James Mitchner for spilling so much
adulation on this exotic island 50 years
ago in "Tales of the South Pacific".
This island he chose for his honeymoon
remains virtually the same.......
Surfers are constantly in search of
new adventure, uncharted coastline,
warm waters, consistent swells, and
uncrowded line-ups. El Salvador offers
all of these things, but anyone who
travels to this tiny, Central American
country will soon realize that the waves
are uncrowded for a reason.........
I departed from San Francisco August
8; 20 hours later landed half way around
the world in Bali, Indonesia. Finding
this to be party central, I almost missed
my flight the following morning to the
East Nusa Tengarra region of Indonesia........
If Topanga is “On the beaten path”,
and K38 is “Off the beaten path”,
then the only way to describe Morro
Negrito Island in Panama is “DEEP
REMOTE”. I recently returned from
a week’s stay at Steve Thompson’s
surf camp and I can truly say that he
has found some real secret-spots.......
