Charley Stevens: Mex-Effects
The journey to Puerto Escondido by way of "Van" continues... Yes, Charley has been in Mainland Mexico AAALLL Summer. He will be home to Carlsbad, CA around mid October for a little while, then it will be time to head out and over to the North Shore of Oahu for some real swell.
Anyway, we haven't had very much in the way of action shots to show you all. That's mainly because there hasn't been all that much swell down there. It's been "fun" but not epic by Mainland Mex & Puerto standards. This entry though is filled with more action shots. We wouldn't say the "ringer" photo for an ad or poster is in this mix, but it's worth checking out.
This is the latest installment from a series of entries about Charley's trip... you can check the others out here: Charley Stevens: Mexi-Files, and Notes From The Road: MexAGAIN and Notes From The Road: Mainland Mex
