Grand Marival - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited.  Was planning to setup a trip about 1 1/2 - 2hrs out around the point to where I had been told there was some great surf.  Time just went by way too fast and it never ended up happening.  We boogie boarded all week long but the waves were not quite “surfable”.  The second to last day I woke up very early for some strange reason after a big night at the disco.

The waves were by far the biggest I had seen and appeared to be of ridin quality.  I went to the shack to grab a board and all they had was about a 5-8 board with no grip of any kind.  I’m only whining and complaining about the board like this because at this point I think I had only surfed once or twice in my life and both of those occasions I was riding a long board - big difference!

I got out there and got rolled around for about an hour.  I got sooooo close so many times.  I just didn’t have the strength and had a few too many cobwebs upstairs to rock it out.

would love to visit Nuevo again soon for a rematch now that I have improved a ton since then.
