Pt. Mugu State Park
“When Uncas follows in my footsteps, there will no longer be any of the blood of the sagamores, for my boy is the last of the Mohicans.” After some debate, Lakshan decided to celebrate the end of his bachelorhood with a surf trip to Pt. Mugu, just north of Malibu. This is a story told [...]

Kauai
Our third trip to the Hawaiian Islands in a year. Kauai-Maui-Kauai. Tough life, I know.. More importantly, this would be our last trip together as a childless couple. I’m excited for the arrival of our little one, but it was nice to make one more carefree trip before such a major life change. I’m not [...]

Nicaragua
Gosh, it’s been a while. The last time the we got together for some tropical surf was Bali, Indonesia. That was 2008. With the impending arrival of my first kid, I’ve been feeling antsy and I wanted to get some surf before shifting into baby mode. That should only last a few months, though, as [...]

Maui
A fine mix of tropical adventure on this trip. We stayed in the upscale town of Wailea (courtesy of Jasmine’s parents), but made day trips all over the island. We drove the bumpy south road to Hana in our minivan rental. Surfed Lahaina Breakwall (nearly flat) and drove up to Haleakala for the sunrise. On [...]

Ecuador
Ecuador really is a beautiful country! We spent the first half of the trip at a jungle lodge outside of Tena, the “cinnamon capital” of Ecuador. The Hakuna Matata Lodge served as the jumping off point for several adventures, including a day of rafting down the Rio Napo (a major tributary of the Amazon). The [...]

Huanchaco, Peru
Our first surf trip to Peru, the land of lefts. We stayed in Huanchaco, just outside of Trujillo on the north coast. This area is a lot like Baja California: dusty and dry, and chilly water. We surfed some fun waves in Huanchaco, and also spent a day catching the longest rides of our lives [...]

Bali, Indonesia
Our first trip to the enchanted islands of Indonesia… We traveled to Bali in search of fine surf, authentic cuisine, and friendly locals. Our new buddy Edwin joined the Wilderness Innovations crew and offered a welcome change to our somewhat predictable surf trip dynamic. We surfed Airport Lefts, Kuta Reef, Kuta Beach, and Bingin on [...]

Playa Grande II, Costa Rica
With Liberia’s new airport open for service, it’s a quick and easy trip to Playa Grande. As long as you book your tickets for the right dates, which some of us seem to have a problem doing. We spent a couple of days in Monteverde (cloud forest) and then Tom met us for the remainer [...]

La Fonda, Mexico
Independence Day fell on a Wednesday this year, but that was no excuse not to get out and party like rockstars. With the demise of the annual Mammoth trip for reasons unknown, we decided to head south to catch some waves. After checking a flat San Miguel, we settled on La Fonda, which rarely disappoints. [...]
