Cabo pictures

So I've been down here for a month and am having a blast. The surf, skim, skating couldn't be much better and water temp is still in the 80s. Anyways since I have more than enough content from the trip I thought I'd share some of less critical shots.

Here's a few video framegrabs from a small but fun day of surfing

This is our private skatepark. It's been closed for a couple years now but we have permission from the owner to skate it as long as we clean the place after leave. It took 3 hours to drain the mosquito/snake/ spider infested bowl but worth every second of it.


skimboarding's Nirvana



having fun at an oasis in the hills.

looks like a blast wardo! those barrels remind me of my favorite type of pizza - thin and crispy!

Incredible! That all looks like a blast!

Awesome.

Skim boarding hasn't really excited me, but your shot there looks like a ton of fun!!

ole bro's gettn wrapped! skimming shore break is the techest thing on earth! this guyz skills are sick, plenty to be stoked on here, camera shots good too..huge props

Did you get slaughtered like a second after those shots were taken? haha sick stuff man.

Insane!!!

thanks for the compliments. All the watershots I posted were from small days so I didn't take that much of a beating but I've took more than a few. In fact I'm lucky I'm not seriously injured. I got sucked over backwards on the 1st wave of a (8 wave) 10 foot set and hit the sand headfirst while getting smacked by my housing. That left me too dazed to properly deal with the rest of the set. It sucked.

That sounds rough man, I've never seen anything like this it looks like crazy fun.

JELAUOUS

Jake McGinn getting a little air

You have a rough life man I feel real bad for you.

Ive stared at those waves by the Solmar for hours and wished I had the balls to try that... Good for you, but be careful!

Well, I'm back in the realm of winter and sitting on some of the best skimboarding footage ever taken. 51 days wasn't nearly enough, I want to go back...

Damned, skimboarders really rules. I think they are most agile from all type of boardriders. For me its best boardsport. Then surfing then the others. I love Beard-ed video, its sick.

where is that at???

So fricken sick!

wait a second, don't you get worked in the sand if you fall while skimboarding? is there an easy way to bail in order to avoid a painful landing?

can't say exactly where but all the pics are taken somewhere in the Cabo region. Here's a few leftover B clips of Scott Flores, one of Cabo's best skimboarders who also is getting into wakesurfing. (lyrics contain a couple f bombs for the easily offended)


and a 1 minute timelapse of us cleaning out the Pescadero bowl shown above.

I just got back from Cabo. I never saw any waves of that size. We surfed Costa Azul. My girlfriend and I had never been surfing (only wakesurfing) so we had Alex Olea give us a few lessons. He is an amazing person.

The spot in front of the Costa Azul surfshop is called Zippers. It's a summer break and doesn't really pick up the North swells. If you would have drove 30 minutes North it would have likely been overhead. (but not very suitable for the 1st time)

We were actually just south of Zippers, I forget what it's called. My girlfriend is hooked!
