A friend of a friend...

About two years ago, a few months before I did, my brother went on a solo Mexican surf mission.

Towards the end of his trip he stopped at Boca De Pascuales, commonly known to surfers as simply 'Pascuales'. From personal experience, this is a very heavy beach break that can hold some serious size (I'm proud to say that when I went there, I got two backhand barrels - pig-dog style)! Adam fell in love with the place and stayed for a week before he had to head back home. While there, Adam stayed next to a bloke who he describes as a 'funny, lovely guy, but mad as a snake'. Apparently this guy next door was a very respectable big wave surfer...

The story goes that my bro remembered him filming some of his surfs with a GoPro - before it got lost in the surf one day.

Curiosity recently got the best of my brother, and led him to see if this guy had posted anything on YouTube. Sure enough, he stumbled upon this fun little clip of those very surfs:
