Heres a guy w/ a story… His name is Aldo from la Libertad El Salvador. For those of u who know, should get a good laugh out of this one… knowing i have been keepin in touch w/ him throughout the years. I met him almost 8 years ago in a bar down in mainland mexico (tres diablos). He was workin there at the time. … we partied, surfed, had a good time, but never thought to keep in touch. All i knew was he was leavin mexico to go stay with some chick in Canada? haha A few years later i had a friend go on a trip to El Salvador, claimed he had some local guy run up to him askin where he got his boards from, sure enough it was ALdo. another year passes i get word he is livin in LA (he sent me some email of him skateboardin?) now think how random this is… hardly know the guy havnt talked to him in years, but cool enough to send me sic skateboardin shots ha . Sure enough, a few months later i get another email: “Adam im workin in a pizza shop in NY, come by and visit?” i think he thought NC was right next to NY? Now some time passes, i end up goin on a campin trip down in Baja one weekend. wake up early mornin to go surf, then see some van pull up with 4 chicks, and whos in the back seat? ALdo Luna… it was classic! funniest thing ive seen. Apparently he was livin and workin in Tijuana? sketchy but he said he loved it? we had a great laugh. i gave him my board to go surf (bareback and freezing) then we parted again.Just yesterday, i receive this email “mente limpia en ULUWUATU”… he is stayin, surfin in BALI, for who know how long? the reason i post this… is for all u guys out there wishin this or wishin that. Here is a guy who comes from El Salvador, has very little money, isnt some pro surfer, doesnt expect to get anything out of his surfing. However knows he loves to travel and wants to go out there and surf good waves. The epitome “if theres a will theres a way”…
Thank you ALDO for the inspiration to travel… we dont even know each other, but i hope the best for u, and keep travellin buddy!!!
I hope this in inspiring! thats why i posted it…

So yeah, isaac gets a lot more tubes most of us ever will see…
bastard! i’ll put sequence up when i got more time? great watershot by Todd Glaser.
Isaac on a old ajw that he says was ok but too light… broke it (puerto eats boards daily) now its heavy as shit, and claimed he loves it. ha lesson to be learned… only bring heavy old clonkers to puerto the bigger the better… only way to catch the bombs. Titties!

“The Mexican Savior” photo:ruddy
little “bucknasty” just showed up to CA to pick up some new boards.
… the kid is fucken classic! if anyone was wonderin… i was skeptic of any hyped-grom, but the guys surfin really is phenomenal. The videos dont give him justice. We ended up taken him down to baja for alittle hotsauce. Inbetween doin a ridiculous amount of airs, reverses, + passionpops…the kid ended up rescuin 4 mexicans from drownin. Local savior! it was hilarious… I was just goin into the beach i had mexicans tryin to give me hugs! ha i didnt know what was happenin, i turn around, theres BB doin another crazy air to the beach, w/guys runnin over to him to thank him. and prior to that the whole time i was worryin i’d have to explain to his mom how i got her son robbed down in mex. haha it was Great!

check out ESM issue#128 for sequence and kind words by ZanderMorton “Rob’s not scared of anything.I watched him surf double-overhead Rockpile alone before dark one day, w/out an ounce of hesitation. Every year, Rob spends months out there with WillSkudin, + MarkYonkers, + those three have all developed the reputation as East Coast madmen.”

ROB kicks ass… Aint even a team rider? but we sell him old fucked up boards from other team riders. he fixes them, and charges harder and get better shots?
haha Heres Rob on a few AJW’s…
FuckYEah ROB we love it!
Owe u a PBR!

Were Tired of same old…
Advertising hype… my space crap, but got a bunch of internet junk we thinks worth posting. somewhere we can help promote, team riders/ friends/ or just weird shit?
This is it… Its not for advertisement, selling boards or nothing. just some junk or funny stuf?
