Have a good trip David.
I was there 30yrs ago when the surf and sex was more important than the Maya and Teotihuacan.
Didn't get any sex and 25ft waves were too scary to ride.
Cheers
Sem
PS wish I'd saved the pics of me on 15ft though

David you're sending me on a remembrance trip here.
Yes, West Coast.
Petacalco was the big one. San Blas, supposedly the longest ride in the world, didn't work but we did get caught in a tropical storm there and had to sit on the boards to stop them flying away. Playa Azul was the another, big waves and so fast they were nearly closing out.
Thanks for the memories.
