VAN TIRES ROLL OFF THE PAVEMENT A FEW MILES FROM THE COAST OF MAINLAND MEXICO. MODERN CIVILIZATION HAS LONG BEEN ABANDONED, AS THE SEARCH FOR A RUMORED BEACH BREAK BEGINS.

THE CREW DRIVES IN ON A BLACK SANDY TRAIL, PASSING RUNDOWN HOUSES, OVERGROWN PALMS, AND STONE-FACED FEDERALES, MAKING WAY THROUGH THE LANDSCAPE. THEY ARE EAGER AND LOOSE AS THE WHISPER OF THE WAVES GROWS CLOSER, SUMMONING A RESTLESS EDGE THAT CALLS FOR A MORE PRIMAL SELF.

EACH DAY STARTS BEFORE SUNRISE. THEY DRINK INSTANT COFFEE AND PUT TOGETHER DAYPACKS FOR THE TWO-MILE TREK TOWARDS THE BEACH. ONCE THE JET-SKIS ARE IN THE WATER, THE SESSIONS BEGIN. HOLLOW, SHORE-BREAKING BARRELS CONTINUE AS LONG AS THE SUN IS UP, CREATING A PLATFORM FOR STYLISH AND POWERFUL SURFING.

EVENINGS ARE SPENT EATING LOCALLY CAUGHT FISH AND DRINKING BEER FROM BEAT-UP GLASS BOTTLES.

THE NEED FOR A TRIP LIKE THIS WILL NEVER GO AWAY.
 
ADVOCATES FIND A FIX IN THESE DESOLATE LANDSCAPES, FEEDING OFF OF THE RAW ENERGY AND UNCERTAIN SAFETY NET THAT NEW TERRITORY BRINGS. PERSPECTIVE IS GAINED IN A SIMPLER PLACE, AS THE ONGOING SEARCH FOR THE SAVAGELAND CARRIES ON.
