I survived the piggy flu.

This trip is in the books. I had a great time in Oaxaca surfing like a crazy man. I'm still a little culture shocked since I got backed. I haven't found the need to watch TV and its kinda weird having to shower everyday. I met some awesome people and experienced true Mexican hospitality. Mexico has been getting a bad rap lately due to the drug war and the piggy flu, but it a place like no other and a place where I have made many a fond memory.

I was going for style points.

La Jaiba.

Che likes Mexico too.

A dirty ol' jack. We gave this fish to Rosario to make pescadias. It was a big mistake. They tasted very fishy.

The "Snoop Dog" of Chacauhua.

Rickard chillen.

Me pulling into a backside drainer. No, I didn't make it out, but who cares, its all about the tube ride.

Chorro with fishy hands.

This old man had to have some great fishing stories.

The evening walk down the jetty.

I'll take a Bohemia, please.

Puro Mex

Mexico has been treating me just fine. I have set up camp on a little surf island in Oacaxa. It a beautiful spot with no cars, Afican Mexicans, and a 500 yrd. long right hand sand point. This pick was from about a month ago. I now have a pretty sweet little mustache. I hope everyone is doing great. Ill be heading back north by the end of April, then on to Italy via a boat ride across the Atlantic. take care

Paragliding in the Alps

Here are a few lost pictures from the Alps that I found the other day. If you have never gone parasailing then GO!!! It has to be the closest thing the feeling like a bird. kah kah.

This pictures funny. Im tall!!!

My Sticks

I going to be heading back to Mexico soon. I can't stop thinking about being down on the pacific again. I haven't been doing much in the valley lately, so I figure I might as well go surfing. Here is a pick of my quiver as well as two new boards I bought this week. Look for more pics from Mexico soon. AHIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

J/B Impulse Buy

I had a great time in Houston hanging out with my Kyle, Rachel, and my two nephews. We did a lot of mountain biking and urban fishing. We checked out the Houston boat show and I even got to hang out in a salon for over a hour. We did some back breaking work in the backyard. A special thanks to the Guatemalan we picked up on the side of the road. This picture was taken from the engineering marvel, known worldwide as the beautiful vessel J/B Impulse Buy. This was the first bass caught on J/B Impulse Buy as well as my first bass on a Coastal Bend Custom Rod. We fished three afternoons and caught over 50 lunckers. "LOOK AT THAT BEND IN THAT COASTAL BEND ROD!!" I'd say after each hook up. Check em out for yourself at coastalbendrods.com. Good luck in the marathon Rach.
