Mexico Mishaps Jesse Evans, Ben Knight, Brett Swarts and Brandon Tipton were all supposed to meet up in San Diego and head down to Mexico with photog Tom Carey. Lots of crazy things happened and a different crew finally made it into Mexico and to Baja Malibu. In San Diego everyone partied and most woke up feeling around 30% in the morning. We finally succeeded in surfing Wind & Sea and made it into Mexico around late afternoon. Everyone vowed to take it easy so we could surf and film in the morning. Two hours and eight beers later two of the crew have left Papa's and Beer with girls to who knows where and another person is in jail. Somehow everyone ended up back at the house and we got one session in Mex before we headed home.

You would think being a world class photographer would be enough for most people but not for Tom Carey. Tom went out at Wind & Sea and with a series of furious back hand snaps was dominating the joint.
