Shots and Words

There's nothing more infectious than a smile. (maybe bird flu)
The crew have 2 minivans between 30 or so surfmad groms. The human tetris that goes down when the whole team goes to the beach on Sundays is amazing. It reminded me of when they fit all those clowns into that VW beetle.
There's no shortage of sun on those long beach days down in Mexico, hats are essential. Thanks to Bong the kids are slip, slop, slapping up a storm.
The personality packed Jimmy and Co.
Jimmy is a triple threat if i've ever seen one. He can sing, definately dance and is a bad ass cowboy.
Sterls has a pretty out there personality and the kids ate it up, they loved him. They named him 'Nacho'.
'Nacho is the one who likes to party'
Beach hangs with girls and Nacho
Maria is a great little surfer. Every day she would be picking our brains for trick tips. I hope she learned a few.
out of focus
The boys really like red shirts.
Jose is a really cool kid a good surfer too... I'm sweaty.
The bus ride on the way to the Fair. A sweet night out in Tapachula. The chilli popcorn was a highlight. Buy it, try it.
Pam, Jose and Maria took me and Jake on a tour of the town and markets. I had promised myself I wouldn't leave Mexico without a poncho, we hunted up and down the streets, alleys and sidewalks but I had to settle for a blanket. You win some, you lose some.
Freshly shaven
Grizzly and sunburnt. Maria never stops smiling. I hope she never does.
Good work boys! The kids must have loved having you there. I am Pam's nephew and have been over there three times. Glad you could fit in a trip to help the kids in your travel schedule.

Its soo amazing how you can break a cute smile. I love to hear some girl back home who can rips and loves picking brains from pro's. Nicely work you got me totally motivated. Any centaurs sightings lately? <3

Great to see a service being offered to some kids who are all but forgotten. The rewards will be felt by all. Thanks for the story.
