Mexican Surfari


I arrived back from Mexico early on a Sunday morning, the hot water of the shower at 3 AM felt very foreign after a week without, as I felt the dust of Mexico wash away. I could feel the soreness in my shoulders and back, and feel the various surfing inflicted rashes, pains and scrapes of a week of surfing 3 and 4 times a day. Playa La Saladita is is a warm water, looooong, left point break in the state of Guerrero in Mexico. I easily had the best rides of my life on that wave, long rides where I could relax and enjoy the surroundings and experience it all. If that wasn't enough, I had a chance to meet with and surf near my favorite author Allan Weisbecker who is camped out just yards from this magic spot. The group also spent a fair amount of time at a small local school volunteering and becoming more a part of the community, and hopefully showing the people of La Saladita and Los Llanos that the surfers coming to their world are more than ghosts passing through.
