Surf, sun, and fun, Mexico surf camp has begun!!!
The campers arrived in Puerto Vallarta four days ago, excited and
ready to start an adventure of a lifetime. We arrived to our beautiful
cabina accommodations right on the beach in the small surf town of
Sayulita and started out night numero uno with delicious seafood
burritos and ice cream. To cool off from the summer heat, we decided
to take a quick night time swim in the crystal clear ocean before we
headed off to bed.
Our days have consisted of early morning surf sessions in Sayulita and
Punta de Mita. Everyone has stood up and is now surfing. We made a
game on the second day called The Big Kahona test. This test became
the right of passage to the bigger waves. The rules of the game were
you had to spot a big wave and then yell out in your best surfer voice
“Hey bra, here comes da big Kahona!” and then after yelling that you
had to paddle, catch the wave, stand up and most importantly, give the
hang loose sign while riding the wave… in style. The great news is
that everyone passed The Big Kahona test.
From dropping in on the face of the waves to carving turns, everyone
is showing their growing passion and talent for this amazing sport.
The waves have been best in the early morning so we´ve had our
afternoons free to have adventures around Mexico. The other day we
took a boat out to the Marietas Islands for some open water
snorkeling, spotting hundreds kinds of different fish, starfish, and
even an eel!! We stepped up our adventure level and ventured through
some caves that led us to our very own private beach with white sand
and aqua blue waters.
Days have ended with gorgeous sunsets, acoustic guitar playing, and
reflections on the wild time we´ve been having in this beautiful
country. Hasta luego for now… we´ve got a local resident teaching us
how to cook a real Mexican seafood barbeque on the beach. Enjoy the
pictures of us at the beach BBQ.
Viva la Mexico!!! Viva la Bold Earth!!!
