Cabo Clásico finals
The swell dropped a lot more than expected overnight. It was hard to find some waves for the competitors, but the decision was made to have the contest by the rocks at Solmar all the way to the finals. Some recorded heats are available on our Facebook page if you want to check it out! Teddy made it to the man on man final with Sam Stinnett and our rider Tule from Melaque made top 4! Full results tonight at Fishermans on the Marina.
- Sam Stinnett
- Teddy Vlasis
- Bill Bryan
- Tule
Cabo Clásico round 2
Round 2 today at Solmar! Clean conditions in the morning and the wind picked up, but it was still very decent. We were able to live stream few heats on our Facebook page and will try to do so for the final day as well. So stay tuned for live action 🙂
Final day tomorrow!
Cabo Clásico round 1
Sign ups for the 2016 Cabo Clásico were last night at Fisherman’s, it was good to see everyone and hang out! We went to bed after that to get up at 6.30 am. We were at Lovers Beach at 9am after taking a Taxi Boat that the organizers arranged to be free for the contestants! Glassy beautiful conditions when we arrived, the first round of the Pros started not too long after. Lots of good rides, unfortunately Scott Flores after a really good backside hit his board pretty hard with his knee. It was scary to see him stay down after that wave in the wet sand, but everyone rushed to help him out and it turns out that he was hurt but nothing seemed broken or torn. We wish him a speedy recovery. Gerardo Valencia pulled in the biggest wave of the day. The beach went crazy!!! Round 2 will resume tomorrow with man on man heats, possibly at Solmar, or at Lovers again… We will keep you posted!
More pictures to come 🙂
Cabo day 1
Tex picked us up in the morning and dropped us off at the airport, few hours later we are riding dream waves in a dreamy place! Here are few shots form tonight, more to come tomorrow for sure!

C.W. Allwine photography
Christopher Allwine is a young talented fine art photographer who contacted us with the craziest idea in mind. We loved the project and the idea and have been collaborating with Chris for few months now. From the first tests, to the first actual pictures, it has been a challenging one. Riding in the dark with a glowing skimboard isn’t easy, and long exposure photographt with another person dedicated to flash the scene at the best moment is an interesting challenge to say the least. It takes practice and dedication, but we are now pretty confident that we are getting closer to the final goal!
Christopher will make big prints and expose his best shots at the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts this Summer. You can find all the information on his fine art photography on his website:
Stay tuned for more night session pictures with the glowing skimboard very soon!
