Mexico sail, day one: “Crew feed provisions to greedy seagull!”

And do bribes still work in Mex?

Ohhhh sweet Mexico, I see you there off the port side glimmering in the early morning darkness. Like a dusting of flippy sequins flipped to silver and are your children involved in the flippy sequin craze?

The crew of the good ship Sunset certainly are.

Of all mankind’s greatest accomplishments, I believe that continually inventing fads is the most honorable.

Flojos, Hypercolor, Garbage Pail Kids… I thought we had chewed through every last fad possible by 1992 but these days we have squishies, DIY slime and flippy sequins.

The first wetsuit company to employ in kiddie sizes will make a mint but I digress.

Morale is currently high.

Many blue whales frolic in the still chilly water and mini dolphins jump to greet us. Yesterday the crew decided it was a good idea to feed the snacks to a greedy seagull and then tried to make DIY slime with some other snacks.

We will see how it all goes trying to clear customs in Ensenada without paperwork from the mothers.

Do bribes still work in Mexico?

The crew wants to surf Tacos in at Scorpion Bay and I smell a mutiny if it is rendered impossible due bureaucratic shenanigans.

Tacos, again, are what my daughter calls barrels and, speaking of fads I’m shocked that various names for the barrel stopped evolving in 1992.

Green room? Tube? Sugar Shack?

Ugh.

What do millennials call them? What about The Pepsi Generation?

More later.

My boy refers to them as peekaboo. Was in Florida last week. Took him and the lady out on a sea kayak. Heading in, twenty feet from the beach, I turned to find a little thigh high set wave rising up behind us. What the hay. Let’s do this. My boy said we got peekabooed, but we really just got tossed.

Chas, let’s please clarify the definition of the term “taco” and apply it to surfing for the small children in the audience.

When a fit, thin woman assumes the doggy position, her vagina extends slightly beyond the periphery of her ass cheeks and becomes a “taco” to enter at her discretion. Having entered this section back door, you have essentially become tubed.

Words matter…..

You will undoubtedly be approached along the way by local fishermen in small pangas to buy or barter for lobster. FYI: this is highly illegal as these guys work for Mexican cooperatives and possession of those bugs by gringos is no bueno. If you are seduced into this tempting offer, only take what you can eat that night. DO NOT load up the freezer. Safe travels.

SSD you can’t use the word DUCT or its derivatives ! It was invented by that cunning linguist and artist , Dr Joel Tudor the conDUCTor of the DUCT tape movement .
He he is in action ( not really )

Alain Delon . God he was handsome , but I believed he turned into a hybrid of Charlton Heston meets Tom Cruise ? Loving the Extreme Close Ups though in the footage ,so typical of the French Cinema of that epoch .

Rolled taco, reverse balloon knot, pina colada back shot, glazed donut, pitties?

Pitty is actually that small boob that overweight women get right between their armpit and titty.

So after a few days in what are people thinking about the WSL Surf Breaks video’s? I sort of like the idea but it seems a little to well put together / produced. I would prefer something a bit more edgy. A bit less scripted. Is two a day too much? Maybe one longer 5 min piece would be enough.

Better than I thought it would be. Too many episodes for sure. A definite improvement over the previous nothing!

Pretty sure “chandelier” and “shampoo” are new terms – definitely post my grom days by a substantial amount. Although really they are only a derivative of the tube.

Hope you get some Taco’s yourself Chas.

Speaking of chandelier . A photo caption from a late 70s Surfing World featuring MP in a small tube read .

McCoy the Shaper , apparently , could not work out why Cheyne Horan was complaining ,at a certain stage in their surfer shaper relationship , about his boards feeling unstable in the tube , until he Geoff was honest with himself and realized that Cheyne was riding so much closer to the source , on , around , over , just in front of the foam ball ,possibly 20 ft further back in comparison to Geoff ,that he had to listen to Cheyne and find a solution totally outside his own experience of tuberiding ….? Thinking how the foam ball might be and design a surfboard to engage so the foam ball would not get Cheyne ?
