North Atlantic


Central America one minute Africa the next.... declining swell in Mex sent the boys on a plane. Mitch, Dusty and Dion spent two days on a delirious mission into the Atlantic coast. After a bumpy five hour drive past camels and goats in trees we finally hit the sack, the next morning was pretty much cooking!

The Desert Affair






Four days in the desert and our crip new suburban looks like a dirty old heap. We crossed the border with D Payne, Coleborn and Yadin. Posting up in a plush villa with waves straight out the front. The first surf was pretty lame and Yadin's trip came to a hault when he tweaked his back..... The right point out frontski is what we came down for but found a crusty left ramp of doom just around the corner. The boys did surf the point on occasion and Mitch locked away the first flip in the Modern Collective piggy bank!

A call is made.... no.. winds look bad... umm maybe.. shit swell looks too south... ahhhh.. our entangled state of affairs is about to come to an end. Expect some visions from the second voyage very sooooon!

INNOVATE
Its pretty cool the workload Pro Skaters throw down on their video parts. They spend days trying to stomp a single move. Surfing can be a bitch! waiting for the right section and wind then when the elements combine chances are you blow it... now you will have to wait another few weeks for that sweet section. But when you nail that trick..... boom! thats a keeper.... Modern Collective loves new moves.... 

I just found this video too... Ceej is a cowboy!
