Another Surf Trip: Sayulita, here I come!
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007
I’m slowly starting to like surfing. So much so, I’ve created a surfing category here on iRide. I’m about to go on my third ‘real’ trip. Tomorrow I get on a plane headed for Sayulita Mexico. We’ll only get two good days of surfing in before we have to come back. We will, however, be right on the beach. Last time we went, it was just before the season started. The place was under populated and the waves were just starting to kick up. This time, we’re going late in the season. I’ve read that by now, most of the summer sitters have gone home to avoid spring breakers and most of the spring breakers have come and gone… making this a great time to vacation there. It’s also still the surf season so we should get even better waves than we got before. Honestly, that spooks me a bit. I’m still not very good at this surfing thing so I like the little tiny baby waves! Sure, laugh at me now… Unless you’ve tried surfing, I can almost guarantee that you underestimate the amount of weight and force behind those waves. The big wave surfing you see on television is simply insane. Anyway, I can’t wait to get back to Sayulita. It was blowing up (in terms of growth) when we were there before. I’m curious how much it’s grown. Since I have so many great photos from the last trip, I posted a bit of a montage. If you wanna see more, I’ve got a photo album posted here… (that is, until we redesign the site and break all the urls)
