I put the surf shed in a category of perfection, where I am pretty sure a lot of other people would think the opposite, a shit hole.  It is a room outside of the main house that is the size a probably a dorm room.  I wouldn’t really know that comparison.  I never stayed in a dorm room.  I did visit my brother a couple times to his, but I was young and don’t remember the exact dimensions.  Anyway, it’s small.  I have a single bed that can really give you a back ache in the morning.  The mattress is like a giant pillow, which might sound nice until you sink into positions not healthy for the spine.  I also have a futon.  It makes the room look homey, but without a tv or really the room to host people, it is untouched.  Actually it does hold a lot of my clothes.  It was used for a bit from Warls.  He stayed here for a week or so with plenty of room where we weren’t on top of each other.  There is a couple pieces of other furniture like a much needed fan, that sits just above my bed blowing down on me at all times.  A little cubby piece for clothes you can zip closed so the bugs don’t invade.  Luckily I didn’t need much in clothes space since I have been living off what I came down here with for my two weeks vacation in March.  The shed has a full bathroom also.  The hower has no hot water, but it’s not really needed with the hot weather.  It can be very refreshing at times.  Half of the shed is painted with a lime green color that really can brighten up your day.  On the outside is a mango tree the size of a normal house with a shit load of mangos.  This is the down fall because the roof of the shed is tin and the mangos like to fall, A LOT!  It’s loud and throughout the night can definitely give you a couple heart attacks.

Mango Madness

Road to Paradise

It is walking distance to the beach!  Just down the road a about 100 yards sits a beautiful beach.  There are no waves here, but the reef is absolutely amazing.  I have snorkeled most reefs down the shoreline of Rincon and out front of my shed is probably the best.  Sea turtles surround the reefs and can be seen with almost every swim.  People that have not experienced swimming with sea turtles are really missing out.  It is a wonderful thing.  I have gone out for a swim that lasted up to two hours.  There is much to see in the underwater life.

Photos don't compare

Wear a helmet surfing groms!

Urchin the size of your HEAD..wear booties too!

When the waves are good the shed is not too far from them.  When it is small, it is a mission.  This is talking about without a car.  I can easily walk the beach and be to Tres Palms in about ten minutes.  Since Tres needs to be big to break I have to keep walking about another five minutes to Dogmans and just a little farther to Marias.  If I wanted to I could make it to Domes, but haven’t made that journey yet.  I can usually find a ride because everyone surfs!

Right handers everywhere!
