Road trip to Playas...




Tom and i just took a road trip 2 hours down south with 3 guy friends to score this last south swell that just peeked down here (now headed your way!) anywho when our friends picked us up to leave they were blasting Lagwagon and proceeded to play an incredible memorable medley of Pennywise, Decedents, Bad Religion, Social Distortion....pretty much every fun punk band....they were only missing Blink 182 and Offspring to make my walk down memory lane complete! The whole drive i was like where´s Gigi and why aren´t we in a little red Honda escort!
We scored big time on our little 2 day trip .... the place we went has 9 point breaks! all with in 5 miles....sickie! It was a perfect, bit overhead swell...nice and clean the first day ....Although the points are relatively close to each other, as the crow fly's the roads to get to them are anything but efficient.....so we spent a lot of time driving down dirt roads riddled with pot holes and of course in the middle of nowhere, to check all the points. Here are some picks of the peak farthest north we drove to .... didn´t surf here because when we arrived there were 6 other guys getting ready to paddle out (i know, what a crowd! ... but you know with 9 points to choose from....).

After all the morning driving we actually ended up surfing closer to town .... of course i don´t have any photos because we were too busy getting tons of fun waves! By far one of my best days of surfing. The set up was cool .... we parked the car and walked with our boards about 20 mins north up the beach, past 5 different points. Then paddled out and surf one of the points for about 3 hours....then when we had enough we just surfed our way back to the truck. They say on a really big swell the wave lines up all the way thru....
P.S. Did i mention i was surfing with just 5 other guys in the water.....
