(Barra's love of gringos)just woke up and its the morning after the contest. we had fat swell chillin all weekend. some of the best contest conditions i have ever seen. the contest was about 50 ft from diego's pad so it was a constant cycle of eating skimming and chilling in his pool. The heats were stacked from the first round even though there was only 13 pros. everyone was killing it and it was hard to say who was gonna make out of their heat. Sat night we all went out to a town called Barra. It was one of Diego's friends 21st b-day and he had two groups of friends that played live music in one of the bars. Last year when we went to Barra my buddy Derik and I convinced a whole bar full of people that we were olympic bobsleders from switzerland. Good stuff. This year was sick though. Drew peace got on the mic for the opening song and did sublime, pawn shop. Then we got Muchu up on stage (against his will) and he sang a Manu Chao song. It was tight and the whole bar was going crazy. After that we body surfed and the dark before passing out. Sunday was even better skim. the second round was 2 man heats, and then a 4 man final. Muchu was owning it all weekend and got 3rd. Huesos from Cabo got 4th. That kid really murders it. I got 2nd and Mo took it. getting some video clips of my heats in a few days so check it out.Brandon Rothe @ Victoria Skimboardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17633626009813458946noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973142727707504560.post-53874359666292686672010-03-04T19:17:00.000-08:002010-03-04T19:17:26.198-08:00blog (blue lizards origonal gangster)boca de los muertos on wed morning. muchu was getting beat all day with the water housing and it looks like i should be about two peaks down the beach. it was insane shorebreak all morning and i saw mad oval offices. As the swell increased all day the beach in front of diego`s turned on. i just sat on the beach and watched everyone from melaque, accupolco, and cabo shred the gnar. dope sunset behind this giant rock that looks like a rhino-dragon-lockness monster. lockness? thats probably not how you spell that.........<br />
