It was a monumental undertaking… Mr. Scott Gibson, who had been to Namotu and Tavarua previously, assembled a group of friends and family that nearly monopolized the island for a week. Namotu allows a maximum of 20 surfers/guests at a time in order to control crowds. Out of the usual TGT crew, only 3 were […]
Puerto Vallarta
A great trip… In fact, we came two years in a row breaking unspoken rules against repetition. The first year was filled with solid surf and good times. We stayed at the same place both years, but the second year, we added a few days, four more I believe, on a “yacht”. Both times we […]
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
This year was a low-budget funfest. We flew to Cabo, rented two jeeps and headed east around the peninsula. We stopped at a great right-hander which I believe was called 9 Palms or Boyscouts. We setup camp on the beach and the fun began…. This was the year that Wyatt stomped on an urchin and […]
Las Gaviotas, Mexico
This was the first website that we built/published around TGT (by Danny Miller). You can see some the original site here. Danny Neumann planned this trip. Some highlights included:– STP dance (one of the top 10, ask Olson about it)– Neumann/Olson Rosarito fight– Bob’s black-jacket nightclub throw down– Fair surf– Thanks Gibby for the picsHangin […]
Quatro Casas, Mexico

Good fun, but frankly, not worth the painful 4+ hour drive, especially when there are so many great waves north of Ensenada! For some reason, Quatro is legendary. EVERYONE seems to […]
The first TGT
During spring break 1984, we headed to Quatro Casas, Baja, MX. We quickly ran out of food and traded beer for lobster on the point. Wyatt, Jof and Rob surfed for four-five days and finally had to leave when a midnight downpour flooded our tents. The Jeep pulled the Subaru to the main road through […]
