« on: March 11 2010 22:03:267 »yeah, Nexpa blew up since I wanna say 2003 or so was the first time I went there and in 2008 it was very crowded. The family built up the little village, its quite nice, but attracts the crowds. Ticla is growing to. They were chopping down the coco trees behind Amalia's place. Soon those will be all gone. It's a total shame, but the land owners need the money that surfers bring in..Oh, and this right we tried to keep a secret, its no secret anymore and its in a surfer's guide book if you know where to look. The wave is heavy and definitely not a beginners wave so it will command its own authority. There was a Mexican movie called Amar a Morir that takes place and filmed at our favorite secret break, now overrun by the Guad Squad and mexicans on holiday.

You can take all this modern garage and put it where the sun don"t shine. Overcrowding, is just one major result of this crap. Too bad you guys don"t know how to rough it a little. What kind of surfers are they churning out these days?

Last summer camp at beach fully robbed at gunpoint, first hand report a good friend got pistol whipped, Robbed the whole camp, Kids that did it were supposedly found dead a few days later, then heard second hand campers got robbed at gunpoint again later in the year. Leave the women and children at home and go get some uncrowded (after this) waves.
