Today was well a very crazy day. We started to load the trucks at 8:30am and later arrived an hour later at Labitos to a warm local welcome (being very sarcastic). One of the great downsides to surfing is the localism that comes along with it.

We got a great dose of it this morning, and probably rightfully so pulling up in two packed out vehicles, though only a handful of people were surfing. We still scored a couple fun waves before the wind picked up and we packed it up and headed out. I also scored a two fun waves (thanks to Ronald for shooting!)

Coincidently, we had a flat tire on one of the trucks before leaving lobitos. We fixed the flat tire, then we were on the road to the kite spot. After we made it about half way there, the second truck blew a tire and the trailer’s tire also went! That’s three tires in one day! We got it sorted out to make it to a gas station then emptied the trailer and stacked all the board bags on the two trucks 4-5 coffin bags high! We later made it to the kitespot to find a great wave though it was closing out. It was significantly bigger than the previous days. The crew scored a couple great waves before the sunset and we headed back to Mancora.
