B&E Photography: Oaxaca, Mexico: Catch Surf Trip

Catch Surf, a clothing company out of San Clemente, CA, was kind enough to sponsor my trip to Mexico to photograph a couple of the guys riding for them. Those guys included Kalani "Eggy" Robb, Johnny "the rocket" Redman, and Jason "Action" Jackson. After a couple of flights, haggling over transportation rates, and a long taxi ride complete with near death misses, I arrived in the small town of Santiago Astata: our basecamp for the next few days. Our camp was owned by Danny Setum which was in close proximity to any of the surf spots. Upon arrival the wind was howling at the beach so, instead of surf, we did some product shots. The next couple of days the guys ripped it even though the waves were a tad small. We surfed San Diego's, Lighthouse, and Coloradas. The team also was able to see the incredible coastlines, villages, and eat some of the best Mexican food they've ever had, compliments of Danny Setum's wife, Erica. While it was painful to leave such incredible point breaks, kind people, and great food, it was also nice knowing I would be returning to 70 degree weather where the humidity didn't strip every bit of moisture from your body. Thanks to Catch Surf and their team for making an unforgettable trip and may I be ever so lucky again to attend. Now to the photos!
