Boiz, Yes – We’re heading to El Salvador the smallest country in central America but with the largest population. We’re going to get a feel for the surf, people and environment by touring both the western and eastern coasts. We will be departing LAX at roughly midnight and arriving on Saturday May 18 at 7:30am […]
The Baja 3000
Drive the distance, surf hard, challenge your ingenuity and tenacity in the desert. Then, give everything away…including your car! Baja 3000, as we affectionally call this years trip, will go down in the TGT annals as something extraordinary. This year we combined over 20 years of surfing in Baja with the guys on a shoestring budget, […]
North / South Carolina
What an awesome trip, the surf sucked, but was of course a blast. But the cool thing about South/North Carolina was the culture. Fried chicken, sweetea, grits, Mr. Bojangles, Waffle House and the southern buffets. The people were different in many ways, not better or worse, just different. We started in Atlanta to see family, […]
Ixtapa / Troncones, Mexico
Troncones is about one hour north of Ixtapa. Familiar surf spots are Manzanillo Bay, Boca, Burros and the elusive “The Ranch”. We had an increadible pad to base out of, with bats and wicked surf right out the back door. Horse shoe and massages were plentyfull and be carefull not to let the burro in […]
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
We had fair surf this trip… I can’t even remember the spots. We CHECKED monuments, but it wasn’t workin. I don’t think we did Zippers, Presidente’s, Boy Scouts’ or 90 Palms either… But we did this one spot up on the Pacific side, it’s called El Pescadero (I believe). It was fun and reminded me […]
Namotu, Fiji
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 […]
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 […]
Surfing Quatro Casas
I’ve been to Quatro three or four times. Each time it’s the same…. 3-4′ and a little mushy. Kind of a Steamer’s Lane setup. 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 […]
