THIS IS HOW IT ALL BEGAN……
I have a little casita (container house) in the southern most part of Panama in a beautiful little pueblo called Pedasi. Good surf, lots of sun and wild animals, and tropical. After moving from Hilo from the Big Island of Hawai'i and shipping a 1994 Ford rust bucket 4x4 F350 extended 1 ton Van from there, and while visiting my Ma in LA I decided to create a project out of my van and restore it for a surf adventure from LA to Panama. While in LA my Ma had a medical episode, she’s 94, so I decided to stay on and take care of her till, huh, well anyway……. So while I’m here in LA the van, which I call the “YETI 4x4 MegaVan” has been going through a ton of changes which will make a two to three month trip more comfortable.
As it stands now, I have a small list of people and surfers that are friends of mine who want to sign on for legs of the trip. And so it goes. As things progress I will write them down and once the trip begins I will do a day to day journal of the trip south. I was inspired by two things. One, I lived in Baja California for periods of time when I was much younger and I have surfed my whole life and craved the adventure life style. Two, after reading “In Search of Captain Zero” by Allen C. Weisbecker and reading a quote, it all but sealed the deal. I’m 60 years young and call it what you may, mid to late life crisis, stupidity, insanity, whatever, it ON!
