My favorite beer, favorite waves,favorite people and
favorite fishing spots are all found in Mexico.
Even my wife is Mexican.
So, granted I spend a lot of time across
the border, it just figures that I would
get held up by a cartel on one of my
trips. But that’s another story all
together.Here are some select
shots from my last two trips
into a few areas you don’t
see very often.

the most
random crew I’ve
ever put
together, I
think.
Wade Goodall,Tyler Warren, Ford archbold, and alex Knost made for one crazy, funny and classic trip.

Matt Mccabe
stuck it out when shit hit the fan down there. He was a good sport and made the most of it. Looking back now, we can laugh — but man were we shitting ourselves.
![Page 14: A Tale or Two from Mexico Flipbook](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011719/568c3c261a28ab0235ace55e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
I think I heard a few calls like, “I want to get married here,” or “Man we’re never leaving.”
that changed quickly that night.
The view from our amazing pueblo.

Damien was all smiles at this point.

We drove for hours to find this mental wave.It was a perfect wedge with no one out. Tubes and a few air sections. I was in heaven. Taylor had the worst luck with the cartel. They took his “empty backpack” but ended up taking his passport too. Luckily, he made it out with a new one in time.

Gofigure.
Wade Goodall on his first surf trip after breaking his leg in a two foot beach break barrel. He’ll huck himself into the air
on death sections and then break his leg taking it easy.

Ford
Damien Fahrenfort is a big dude.
I was trying to hide behind him
when the Cartel came. you know,
use him as a human shield.

Pickle slashing on a big board.

I think he shaped it.

Is it just me or does he look like Jack White of the White Stripes?

He’d smoke ‘em.
I was really impressed by alex on this trip. The boards he rides are so damn big. I’d love to see anyone challenge him to a heat with one of those giant single fins.

Matt Mccabe
with a
little souvenir
from the
cartel.
Those big shells are for an aK-47. Scary thought.

Never heard of Bobby okvist?
![Page 33: A Tale or Two from Mexico Flipbook](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011719/568c3c261a28ab0235ace55e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Well you should. The kid rips, charges the wedge and will probably hook up with your sister.
![Page 34: A Tale or Two from Mexico Flipbook](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011719/568c3c261a28ab0235ace55e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Ford broke his foot on the wave after this. I think a bit of his dad is rubbing off here.

Some good dudes right there:
Wade Goodall,Tyler Warren,Victor Pakpourand Mike Gleason.

That was an awfull Surfline caption. Sorry I couldn’t help myself.
Matt was a little jumpy
after the run in with the cartel.

These dudes were nowhere to be found. This road was right behind our house. No one gives a shit around that area.
![Page 43: A Tale or Two from Mexico Flipbook](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011719/568c3c261a28ab0235ace55e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
I’d be scared to be these guys. the cartels are way more ruthless.

Damien and I live together and combined forces.
I’d say we’ve retold the robbery story at least 400 times.

We still had a good time after our nightmare.

Don’t ask what’s going on here.

alex was trying to bust tail on this log later in the trip.

a lot of animals were captured during this trip,
even the rare “Snooki Monster” from Jersey.

Speaking of animal.

Speaking of animal. I think everyone on the trip had a new found respect for Mike’s power surfing.

Bobby okvist and charlie Sheen getting to know each other.
I’d imagine this isn’t the first time Charlie Sheen’s been upside down in Mexico.

I asked a local artist to draw a caricature of me during dinner one night. I guess he thought I looked like John Heder’s character from Blades of Glory.

all things considered, taylor held it together pretty well on the trip.

I heard Charlie Sheen just bailed Lindsay Lohan out.
Where was he when we needed him?
