March/April 2014

Mike, Jeff, Phil, Tom, Paul

Mike, Jeff, Phil, Tom, Paul

This years crew included Tom, who was returning for his second visit, and 3 first timers.    Mike is a friend of Dave, who at the last minute had to cancel.   Mike still charged even though Dave pulled out, and he did not know any of us.   He was a great guy to have along, with his witty jokes, and great surfing.   Mike’s got the whole trip going with his rallying cry of “Por que No” (Why not)   It soon would become the rallying cry for all of us.   Whether it was beers before noon, or trying some new food.   Each of us had a “Por que No” moment during the trip.   Great to have him along on as a member of the 2014 Peru crew.   Jeff and Paul are two surfing brothers, who I have known over 30 years.   They are great friends, and I was stoked that they were finally making it to Peru.   I am sure they got sick of all the photos, and stories I brought home each year.   They had to experience it for themselves.   There was definitely a lot of camaraderie with group, which made the whole trip that more fun.   Pretty happy with the way the trip turned out, waves and all.
