El Salvador and beyond

After watching local Huntington beach hero Brett Simpson destroy everyone in his path to a hard earned $100,000 at the US open of Surfing, Brandon Guil"NoNeck" and me got motivated and decided it was time to start training with Kevyn Dean at DSC. It  payed off a little as I was able to win the Sun Diego and Volcom contests in between our weekly training sessions. I was able to make $1,500 between the two contests and was now on my way to El Salvador.

  The trip was set up by video guru Aaron Leiber, the producer of The Pursuit, in the search for footage for his next film. The trip consisted of Andrew Doheny, Dillion Perillo, Balaram Stack, Chris Waring, and the Thompson bros which made for some very exciting surfing. We also had Joe Foster there to document all the photos. We were able to time two different swells perfectly which made for overhead surf everyday of the trip. We surfed non stop for 8 days straight at Las Flores, Punto Mango, and Punta Roca. A great way to spend a week in Central America! — MD
