Not only did the guy freaking score he also managed to shoot some sick photos and kept his head enough to take notes on the swell activity. (Always make sure to take notes people...you can reverse engineer the forecast so that you can score the same place again!)
First check out these photos
And here is the breakdown of his trip...I wish I had been there (not staring at this stupid computer).
Thursday evening – fun 90 minute session at Manzanillo Bay with sets going a foot or two OH
Friday a.m. – Boat to the Ranch (same captain we had – Ramon)… sets going 3+ feet OH and super clean…. Manageable crowd. Also surfed for 2 hours solo at “A-frames”, a spot just 5 minutes past the Ranch. 4 hour session.
Friday p.m. – Arrive at Nexpa to find the Mexican National Surf Championships in progress. Make the call to drive another 2-1/2 hours to Ticla. Surf huge sketchy reef on way up.
Saturday – Mind blowing Ticla. Clean all day. Sets going DOH. No crowd. 250+ yard rippable lefts…. Just an insane wave.
Sunday – See above with slightly smaller sets.
Monday – 5 hour session at the Ranch and A-frames. Sets still a couple feet OH.
...the lucky dog.
