Gopro

Last weekend my Dad got a Gopro for his birthday, and I already have some videos up on youtube check them out http://www.youtube.com/user/rigmaster66?feature=mhum. Me and my family only have a week left here in Sayulita. So the should be some adventures ahead with a very long road trip back to the states. Once arrived in back home to Everett, WA. I'm wondering whats going to replace surfing and I was thinking SUP racing. More posts ahead involving a very long roadtrip.

Surfing Marathon

       Yesterday, We did a big trip to La Lancha and then to El Anclote, with my uncle and his friend. If you are coming to Sayulita whether you know how to surf or are learning you should go to La Lancha. La Lancha is super good for anyone learning, there are these beautiful 2 foot waves that are in waist deep super clear water.  It is a short hike in from the car, be careful La Lancha is a very high theft area.  The day we were there our friend had his backpack stolen off the beach.  If your trying to get there ask any surf local, like Sergio. When we went yesterday it was huge but windy, not the best for our family. So we stayed there for a little bit but then went to El Anclote. Got some good photos.

                                                          

Nothing like roasting marsh mellows on the beach in 90 degree weather

 El Anclote

If theres one thing El Anclote is known for its, its party waves.

We all know that feeling

Changing things up

The other day there were some decent waves in Sayulita I broke out of my usually routine and went out with a  7'0 epoxy Walden mini magic. It was crazy good, caught twice as many waves and was way more squirrely. I can't wait to take it out again.

Iguana hunt

About 2 weeks ago our family and some other friends went on a crazy trip to San Blas for search of Surf unfortunately the boards didn't even get off the car but it was fun anyway got to see some really cool places. Anyway while driving the highway we spotted a huge iguana and I made an attempt to catch. But it ran off into the bushes before I could get to it. Got some cool pictures though. 

SUP

Recently I have been SUPing thanks to John, check out his blog http://supwithjohn.wordpress.com/. John really turned me on to SUPing. But not only did he teach to SUP but then he also is letting me barrow his Lil' Darlin. I would never be SUPing if it wasn't thanks to John. I would still be stuck on that 12'2 Laird.

Surf and SUP mexico

         I'm Rory, I'm 14, me and my family moved down to mexico for 6 months just to get some time away from the very busy lifestyle we lead in rainy cold Everett, WA. Getting down the Sayulita mexico was an adventure in its own. But once here it was well worth the 5 days on the rode. One of the biggest things we were looking forward to was surfing. Right before the trip theres was nothing else to do than watch surf videos on youtube on shop for surfboards on craigslist, so we had are quiver prepared. Once down here all that craigslist shopping paid off with plenty of boards to choose from we were off to the waves. We had had very little surf expeirence in the past, rent a board and get pushed into the waves in waist deep water. The first week was in the waist deep water getting shoved into waves but me and my dad were quickly off to the bigger stuff. By the first month I was consistently up and starting to make my way down the face of the wave. So far I had loved surfing I thought there was nothing better and was almost ready to give up skiing for surfing. So surfing everyday in 80 degree weather easily beat any day in Washington. After finally getting tucked into Casa conchita we were kicked out for 2 weeks we were headed for la mazinilla. La mazinilla was a cool town for a while but quickly got old. There were some really sweet surf spots in la mazinilla like Arollo Seca. So we spent a couple days at the beaches and then on the last couple day we got an instructor named Matt who was a really cool guy and so we headed down to Arollo Seca for some waves and thats were I really started to get into surfing I was constantly getting into the wave and was getting down the face and was starting to work the wave a little, I was riding a sweet 7'2 Blue board. So once the family arrived back to what we are calling home Casa Conchita in Sayulita. So I will soon have more post and pictures soon but in the meantime heres some cool photos of me surfing left break.
