Nexpa, the End of the world, and zipolite

Nexpa is something else. Perfect left point break. A little crowded on the wave. Had an epic while spearfishing! Got trapped in a mine field of urchins in thigh deep water and waves crashing in behind me! Freaking awful. Lots of cursing my predicament and standing in tripod position with the speargun as a third leg for five minutes with waves breaking on my back trying to figure out how to get through. Managed to only step on two and make it out alive. no more urchin epics please!

Then....

Bam! End of the world happened. We spent it in puerto Escondido, known for it's monster barrels. Unfortunately that only happens in the summer, so we played pool and crashed at a hostel with our Canadian friends, Kari and Fred, the skydivers who live in a green Mercedes box van.
Next day was a little rough, but we survived the apocalypse and headed south to Zipolite! It's got a good hippie vibe going on and all sorts of characters wandering around. I've unfortunately gotten a little of the stomach bug so I'm taking it easy and taking some time to write up about the trip. Gotten a little lazy with the camera. Sorry dudes. I'll get back on the photo train. Iof need to start taking photos other than epic sunsets and long, sandy beaches. Unfortunately, that's all there is here!
