Translation: Heido Sundstrom


For the second year in a row, Ernesto Trujillo, leader of the Micha Surf Club, School, Fabrication and Surfboard Repair, celebrated the local young surfers of Acapulco in an event that began on Sunday, November 5th and lasted from 10 am – 5 pm.

Free surf classes were held for the new prospects of this sport and kids between the ages of 4 – 15 enjoyed the waves and foam that broke along Playa Revolcadero. Although the water was a little cold, that didn’t stop the kids getting in and out of the waves. There was also a space to eat hot dogs that were specially prepared by the “Fairy Godparents”, Alfonso Polidura and his wife, Sandra “La Güera”, who hail from Mexico City but are more Acapulqueños than anything. Alfonso is the President of the Mexico City Surfing Association and has supported the event since its inception last year.

Attendees enjoyed slices of cake, fresh flavored waters, free Planeta Surf magazines and commemorative T-shirts.

Eve Trujillo de Nestle always has her batteries fully charged and was an important part of organizing the event, along with dozens of volunteers that lent their support. Especially the Bonfil Surf Shop, Escuela Todo Americano, Iguana Surf, Surf Sing and “El Morongo”.

Dylan Southworth – The Hope Of Mexico

Translation: Heido Sundstrom


Dylan Southworth, the surfer from Nayarit, is the great hope for Mexico as his fight continues. On Saturday, he placed first in his heat and is believed to go far in this contest. His experience and perseverance have helped him to perform well during the competition.

The closer the contest reaches the final, the harder the heats become. It just goes to show you that those from Nayarit can really put up a fight.

Dylan has been on the road with two other competitors from Mexico, Adrian Rodriguez and Pamela Verboonen. Unfortunately, they were unable to reach the finals and were both eliminated.

We send Dylan good vibes for the rest of the competition. Go Dylan! Go Mexico!

Ulises Rodriguez, Rafael Aguilar And Ramon Garcia: The First Place Winners Of The Bejuco Pro 2013

Ulises Rodriguez, Rafael Aguilar And Ramon Garcia:
The First Place Winners Of The Bejuco Pro 2013
Translation: Heido Sundstrom


In a competition not suitable for beginners, the “Pros” of bodyboarding from the states of Sinaloa, Nayarit, Colima, Oaxaca, Guerrero and Michoacan gathered to compete at Bejuco de Ocampo, Michoacan near Playa Azul (a secret spot only just recently revealed to outside surfers).

The Michoacan State Bodyboarding Association was in charge of organizing this “extreme” event, the Mexican Bodyboarding Tournament, where $30,000 pesos were divided between three categories—Open, 18 & Under and Drop Knee.

Top-level competitors, the “cream” of the participating states’ “crops”, so to speak, threw themselves into waves of more than six feet high, with heavy peaks for both sides and a solid wall that allowed these “kamikazes” to jump into the air for an instant, gripping their boards tightly to their bodies.
