We had another epic round of Punta San Carlos clinics in early October on our way down. Scored 11 of 15 days of wind, even 4 days on my 4.4m. Great swell every day. Just all around fun conditions. We even had 2 guys get their first forward loops in week 1.

Road down to La Ventana was better than ever, except for all the construction just North of La Paz. We were soooo close then it took us 3hrs to get 1 hrs distance.

Season is off to a good start down here. We have our first group this week and they have sailed Monday to Wednesday, then it got light for two days and now its firing again. I've been on my 4.8 and 93L freestyle all the windy days. Half the crew went sporsfishing yesterday and hooked a Dorado while the rest of the crew went to swim with the whale sharks in La Paz and got to swim around them as they were feeding which is rare.

Campground is already 3 rows full!!!

Our new bar is a hit! Pithaya (cactus fruit) season is here and we have been Pithaya hunting in the evenings and serving up bright red margaritas as night.

Finally got the Kegerator hooked up last night, it took 3 engineer to figure it out but we now have ice cold Pacifico on tap. Not sure thats a good thing for anybody liver...hahaha

Check our our Social page on the website to follow the awesome photos from the season.

Kinda losing track of the windy count. It has just been windy every day!!

That 2nd week of the Makani Fins crew saw 5 out of 7 days of wind, and I think it has been sailable every day since they left on the 16th. Except for last Monday and Tuesday.....So if today is the 26th then that makes it 8 out of the last 10 days. I have still only used my 4.8 Freek and 93 freestyle, although the day I had to go to La Paz Tyson said it was so windy he was worried about ducking his 4.5. Its always the windiest when I have to go to La Paz...D'oh.

Been having some epic good times in the new Party Palace with Seņor Sushi Chef Tyson and a rotating cast of guest bartenders. Plenty of plus sized scorpion shots to go around, which always gets a spirited reaction.

The fun sure hasn't stop after the wind settles down either. Some of the Makani crew went out sports fishing on a low wind day and caught 3 Wahoo and 1 Yellowfin Tuna which kept us well fed for a few nights.

Yesterday we had a baby turtle hatching just in front of the gear sheds. I've seen it quite a few times now, but it really never gets old. The things are so cute and it fun to flatten out the sand and make little pathways for them towards the water.

There was even some Sandboarding and Sandsledding nights in there that left our beds feeling like we were sleeping on the beach.

Well its 2pm and its blowing 4.8 again....darn.
