2012: Julia-Levy and the Mexican law
2012-05-16 20:54:00
Readers of this blog may recall that I have written about an upcoming documentary that supposedly will show that the Maya were visited by aliens. The producer behind this documentary, the Mexican soap opera actor Raul Julia-Levy, is in the pseudo-news again. It now seems that the documentary may not be finished (unless this is ...

El Topo (1970)
2012-04-14 21:49:00
El topo, 1970, Mexiko Regi & Manus: Alejandro Jodorowsky Titeln betyder ?mullvaden? på spanska, men jag är osäker på hur den nedgrävda nallebjörnen i början hör ihop med slutet. Något måste regissören, manusförfattaren och huvudrollsinnehavaren Alejandro Jodorowsky haft i åtanke i alla fall, för han är en mästare i symbolik. Hans filmer är vackra men ...

Hasta luego Mexico!
2012-03-30 21:00:00
We planned three weeks for Mexico, but ended up staying one and a half month! Could have stayed there six months without seeing it all. The people, the food, the waves was amazing and this is a country we know we will be coming back to. Hasta luego Mexico and a big thank you to ...
Somewhere in the jungle
2012-03-29 19:45:00
This place is soo far out in nowhere. We had to take two taxis and a boat for like one hour upriver to reach it. It’s Yaxchilan, another lost city that used to be great kingdom. The spot was awesome, the views over the river was beautiful, so amazing they found this perfect place to ...
hippie hide away
2012-03-28 18:22:00
After visiting the big old mayan city we went to a funky place along the road to find us a bed. In the jungle, in the middle of nowhere there was three or four different hostels, a bunch of “hippies” and backpackers, a few restaurants, one of them italian and famous in the whole of ...
palenque
2012-03-28 08:16:00
Our main reason to take this detour threw the mountains was to see some maya sites, ancient cities of pyramids. This is Palenque, considered to be maybe the second greatest maya city in the world. Can you imagine that this city was home to a few hundred thousands of people? And that it’s still standing ...
vino de mexico
2012-03-25 07:21:00
We’ve had cravings for some wine drinking for quite some time, restaurant folks as we are. In San Cristobal there where small cozy winebars in every corner, we tried one of them out, they only had cheap mexican and a few south american wines on the list, not anything to cheer out loud for but ...
a sami in a mayan dress
2012-03-22 21:00:00
San Cristobal de la Casas in Chiapas, Mexico offers some amazing shopping! A dress similar to this was 700 pesos in Puerto Escondido and here it’s 250 pesos. So hold your horses and monies until you get to the mountains where they’re made. I have never felt so blonde and nordic before as I have ...
Tierra?Dentro
2012-03-22 07:00:00
From a beach to a mountain town 2200 meter above the sea level, talk about culture chock. We got to San Cristobal de la Casas with a night bus from Huatolco and the first thing we did was to take a taxi to the restaurant Tierra’Dentro. Just the taxi part was a little mission and ...
a pizza night
2012-03-21 07:00:00
Reminds me of the amazing pizza nights we had at Papazela’s in South Africa, this local restaurant in Barra was almost as good. Their drinks however were out of this world! Pizza, beer, pina coladas, margaritas and new friends; a great night!

We met Ed on our road trip through Mexico. His story is cool if something so we made it a Sunshine story. Ed used to live a different life. He worked 9 to 5, went home and kept on working until early morning. Every day, every week. He managed to go to the gym one ...

The beach here is amazing. The only building on the beach is the restaurant which is a palapa/bungalow made of bamboo etc and easily could be taken down and poff, suddenly you would have an untouched beach with a beautiful wave in front of it! Kind of hard to find 2012. It’s the community who ...
barra de la cruz

After recommendations from both Ed and our friend Oscar (also known as Kioskar) we took a bus and a taxi south and made it to Barra de la Cruz just to the sunset. This place did not disappoint us.. Nor did Andrew, Ed’d friend, a super cool dude from New York City that we’re gonna ...
Quatro colectivos and a boat
2012-03-19 08:50:00
This is how day of travel can look in Mexico. Searching for distant waves is part of the adventure and there’s a lot of them in this country. We slept in very basic accomodation on the beach for only a few dollars, surfed the evening offshore breeze and the next day we took the same ...

Two years ago Petter and I attended a workshop with a man called Phil in Coffee Bay, South Africa. Petter made an super nice necklace out of a stone and it became his favorite. It later got sacrificed to the Swedish surf and he says he has felt naked ever since. Until this day! He ...

We stayed at a really nice, cheap place with a GREAT internet connection. A great internet equals gold for us and updates for you, so that’s always a big plus! It was situated right in front of the beach and the break, the owner was super relaxed and we digged the vibe here and in ...
The mexican wave machine
2012-03-16 00:05:00
This is Puerto Escondido, the mexican wave machine aka the “mexican pipeline” . It´s a beach brake that gets overhead and tubing with NO swell.. The swell was about 2ft when these images where shot. If you wanna have a look at hard core surf you should definitely go here cuz i haven’t seen a ...

Kristy gave us a ride to the bus stop and a bus-shitforgotourswimwearontheclotheslineonth ebeach-colectivo-bus-nightbus-taxi followed.

breakfast @ el Cafecito
2012-03-12 07:19:00
Super sweet breakfast at El Cafecito in Puerto Vallarta! Can recommend the chocolate/banana milkshake, their banana cake, spinach/cheese croissant and their peanut butter toast with banana on.. Don’t know if Petter can recommend the “Mega plate for a hungry surfista” with three scrambeled eggs, bacon, pancakes… Alex Sunesson liked this post

We’ve started to work on a little film about Cat & Kristy, totally fell in love with this spot and their life’s. Can you imagine traveling the world, teaching the art of surfing, only at your own absolute favorite locations and to do that for a living? Stay put to se more. Karissa Wood liked ...

This is the line up at this loong nice lefthand point break somewhere in Mexico. We are so happy we found it, and got stuck here. For a while i was the only guy out there together with 13 chicks and peeling waves. Of some weird reason I’ve noticed the facts that girls get treated ...
afternoon margaritas
2012-03-08 02:53:00
We surfed, eat some breakfast and then worked some on our computers, love when we stay a longer time at places and you almost get the rhythm of a every day life. Then Kristy came by for a chat, looked at some footage of her ripping the mini simmons and then we joined her and ...

This is Cat & Kristy aka the main reason for our 11 days vacation in Ladylongboardlandia, they were just too awesome to leave.. The second day after we met they brought us on a nice adventure in their VW beetle. Check out this place! This is what you still can find here.. Out of all ...
a house on the beach
2012-03-05 18:42:00
For some different reasons (an awesome wave & some awesome people) we just couldn’t leave this place. So this bungalow became our home for eleven days.
sunset sessions

Spent some beautiful evenings in this pool, extra nice after a whole day in the salty water. A big thank you to Kristy and Cat of Siren Surf Adventures for letting us hang out in their oasis.

I love this place! Nothing beats a lineup screaming and whistling of joy for each other. They call this place Ladylongboardlandia. A lineup filled with pure aloha, and how much we learned surfing with some of the world’s best surfers, thank you for some amazing days! Also a big thank you to Margaret & Matt ...

Haning out at La Chuparosa is never boring. You never know when one, or 14, of Kristy’s fresh made Margaritas is gonna pop up and turn the pool side siesta into a pool party. We hanged out here as much as we could to escape the mosquito farm that nested where we stayed.
Are they following us?

Or is it us following them? Either that or the Bing boards are all over the world. This is an old Jacobs, which also is being shaped by Matt Calvani.

Zihuatanejo was a weird town. Like a ghost town, hardly no people and closed restaurants and shops. The few people we met was 65 + and we didn’t meet any people our age. Add to that a food poisoning that made me and Petter beaten for three days.. We found a nice hotel though, can’t ...
somewhere along the pacific coast highway
2012-02-27 07:54:00
Luckily for us, jumping on a bus with two boards and two mega back packs is not a problem in Mexico! Hope it will runs this smooth in the other countries too. Sometimes it jumps on a troubadour that sings a few songs, collect some coins and then jumps off, it’s a part of their ...

Avocados, papayas, bananas I loove it! We stayed at a place where it took forty minutes to an hour to get the food you ordered, then the avocados came in very handy!

One more mega-drought study
2012-02-24 22:51:00
It sure looks like we are being ?flooded? by various palaeoclimatological studies that supposedly confirm the mega-drought model for the Maya collapse. Most of these studies, but not all, are made by palaeoclimatologists with little to no consideration of the archaeological record near the sources themselves. We often see climate data retrieved from Lake Chichancanab ...

Water, caves, and panpsychism in the Maya area
2012-02-24 22:51:00
I have written an abstract for a session on water at the EAA in Helsinki later this year. Water as a real object is forever withdrawn from its relations and presence. Only water as a sensual object can be experienced. However, not only humans and organic entities ?sense? other objects. In the panpsychist view, which ...
