Our daily routine here in Puerto Escondido often goes something like this: wake up, beach walk, watch some surfing/boogieboarding at Zicatela or La Punta, come home, eat, workout, read, lunch, pool hang-outs, afternoon trip to the beach, dinner hang-outs with dudes from our hotel followed by more reading or a dip in the pool. There’s the odd variation but that really sums it up.

We’ve been lucky enough to catch Puerto at the right time of year – when the waves are still big, the people here (for the most part) are young (or young at heart) and the annual Zicatela Pro Boogieboarding comp is on. In a months time the surf will get small and the town will be taken over by, what I’m told are, snowbirds – old gringos from the cold areas of North America looking for a warm reprieve. We’re both stoked that luck was on our side and we got here before the changeover!

Here’s my first gallery of photos from the beach!
