A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Brad Domke keeps teaching surfers how to ride waves in finless board mode.

He is one of the best wave riders in the world. Grab a thin finless skimboard and try to imitate the magician from Wabasso, Florida. Nice effort, it's simply impossible.
Domke is never lost, and he can often be found cutting the cleanest wave lines on Planet Earth. In half. Actually, Brad is the pioneer of big wave skimboarding. How can he do that?
The latest video confirms his surf n' skim skills. Most of the clips have been lost due to a major hard drive failure. Luckily though, they were filmed with an iPad before disaster struck, and they've been cut from that.
Next time, we'll be watching Brad Domke charging hard at Teahupoo with a simple skim board. Any doubts?
