Ok,so after a week and a bit of being stuck in puerto escondido awaiting our car to be fixed so it would go forwards things started to happen.During the waiting period i did a whole lot of drinking,eating,and more drinking but very little surfing despite the fact that escondido is known world wide for its surf.its extremely heavy even at four foot.
I partied a little and had my first confrontation with a crazy mexican on coke looking to kill gringo's but in true auusie form defused the situation quickly,it was either that or get jumped by a group of his amigo's.Met soooo many ozzies,well probably only a dozen but i did'nt expect that in mexico.anyway they were all really good souls.I also met a couple of uni students on vacation from california and they were really great americans (yeah i was suprised they exist,no no just joking),but spent most of the time with them being educated on mexican markets,food,and the left hand point nearbye.
Escondido could maybe be compared as the mexican torquay,a really big surf scene with people from all over the world being rellay cool and jazzy.Not really my ideal place ( another scene i did'nt expect in mex) but i could have being stuck in worse places thats for sure.The beach was lovely,accomodation cheap and the company was grand but the day the car was fixed was like flying out of australia all over,soooo stoked.
But here is a few shots to show you the heaviness of this wave
