We were getting surfed out so we seeked out some relaxing and creative refuge in town. After some shopping we stumbled upon a custom shirt making place and the boys went crazy, some designs can’t be shown here because they were so cool and edgy. Chiggedy check it out.

Bonita, Que Bonita – the peninsula of Baja rises with splendor. We were on a mission for waves, searching the East Cape for uncrowded nooks and crannies. After a few back and forth’s, we came back to a little spot where there was no one out and some nice waves rolling through. Days were like weeks and everything blended together… this is a scattered post of what I shot.

Let there be arts and crafts and surfing and rafts. This was a morning spent using the left side of the brain or right side, whichever is the more creative and daring side….

Barry McGee and crew descended on the Houston Street wall. Beginning at midnight McGee, together with longtime collaborator Josh Lazcano (Amaze), began a massive spray-painting spree, bombarding the surface with hundreds of simple red tags. Working through the cover of night, the team created the ultimate graffiti writer’s roll call and a strangely beautiful, if not challenging piece of commissioned abstract art. By dawn, it would go much farther than even they could have imagined.

We woke up in front of world famous surf break, “The Rock”, known for it’s rocky land mine covered faces and overall average quality. As I wiped the eye boogers off, I watched AL knost streak across a wall. He was up early and stayed out for a three hour power surf. Everyone else rolled out of bed late and waxed up their sticks. The morning was productive and as the day carried on, the cameras were out and things were getting crazy – we ended up pulling out all our surf toys and surfing the backwash going back out to sea. 5 foot waves would crash up against a wall, sending a three foot wave back out to sea.. We were so caught up in having fun, we destroyed three surfboards and dung up a few others ( this is where the Dings come from). The footage is priceless, people being taken out, boards crashing up against the wall.
Kalani woke up late, had some cheerios and charged out.

After having one of the worst Southern California summer’s to date, I decided it was time to gather the team and head for a warm water paradise or the closest thing to it. Seeing a nice South Swell forming in the window for Mexico, I did some research and saw that the best weather would be at the tip of Cabo. I’m pretty sure I was 18 the last time I went on a surf trip to Cabo : Cabo Wabo, Giggling Marlon, Squid Row and the occasional trip to the East Cape to surf, good times… I called up the bros and rallied my crew – Ford Archbold for some hi-fi shredding, Alex Knost to inspire style, the 12 year old phenom Kalani David to blow everyone’s mind, Alex Kopps for his revolutionary sense of humor and wild floaters, Keegan Gibbs to make movie magic and Jeremiah Klein to capture it all with the shutter.
Ahhh warm water and beautiful beaches.
