With expectations of perfect, peeling, private waves, we headed off to Patole, Sinaloa, Mexico. It had been awhile since we had a legit surf trip, and we’re not getting any younger… I had heard of Sinaloa Surf Adventure (SSA) with their 800+ private acres and a perfect left-hand point and decided it was time. SSA […]
Colorado Rocky Mountains
Continuing on thinking outside the boy’s trip pattern, I once again chose a trip that was outside conventional TGT thinking. The theme – Dude Ranch. After researching ranches from Arizona, Colorado, Montana and Wyoming I settled on Tumbling River Ranch in Grant, Colorado. The crew consisted of; Jof, Rob, Bob, Ian, Adam, Jeff, Jeff, Keith […]

The crew was Jof Abshire, Robert Brough, Bob Ellenwood, Jeff Sedenko, Wyatt Wolfe, Joe Zuccolotto and of course your truly, Ian Mackenzie. The […]
Kenai Peninsula
My original Alaska plan in 2014 was to surf and fish from a boat. Multiple charters work out of Seward giving surfers the opportunity to fish, hunt and surf pristine locations. Although cold, I thought it would be a winning ticket for my friends. While it would be an adventure like no other the boat […]
El Salvador
Wow, how time flies!! Two weeks have gone by since we were altogether in El Salvador. TGT “El Salvador” 2013, is in the memory books – “remember Ian, it’s all about creating memories!” Who can forget a whole week of 6-10 foot waves, 85 degree water, El Salvador’s national drink “Tic-Tat”, new HM Wyatt, El […]
