Sayulita Christmas 2018

This year, above all others we have spent living in Mexico, is filled with a crazy amount of anticipation.  Why is this year any different?  2018 is the first year we will spend in our new house, Casa Pōno.  No doubt that there is STILL lots of work to be done but this year's holiday season will be spent under our own roof.  Something that has not happened since before we left Utah in 2011.  Ashley will be home for an extended time this year.  With our house in Park City selling in November she will not have to run off to pump more hours into the Delta Airlines machine during the holidays.  She will be able to just sit and enjoy her family, our new house and a glass(ok, a bottle) of Christmas cheer this year.  So much to be excited and thankful for this holiday season.

Christmas Eve we headed over to our friend's, the Cawrses, house for our traditional yearly get together and dinner.  Joined once again by the Kruegar family it is always a night filled with overeating and lots of "cheer".  If we have one holiday tradition it is the Christmas Eve dinner we spend with these two families and it is always a pleasure to just hang out with all these great folks each year.

So what is Santa bringing this year?  As always the grandparents and friends were generous with their gift giving.  For Ashley and myself just getting the house finished will be more than present enough. But with the Park City house bills a non-factor this year we admittedly have gone a bit overboard as far as the kids are concerned.  We have been super conservative over the years when it came to the kid's gift giving which has actually been a good thing.  With the kids continuing to dedicate themselves to their SUP Team, compete, getting good grades and getting great reports from their teachers we felt it was finally time to get them their own 12'6" race boards.

SICMaui RS boards for our racers.

But, of course, everything that is worth doing in Mexico has to have a story behind it right? Well, this one does too and I will try to make it short...but it won't be.

Friends of ours, Mia and Shane, who we have casually known for several years from surfing in Punta Mita made the move this year to live down here half the year.  They represent the sup/surf brands BIC Sport and SICMaui up north where they are from in Vail, Colorado.  With their seasonal move they were also starting a SUP tour business here called Performance Stand Up Paddle.  Ashley ran into them while visiting some other friends and asked them a little about the race boards they had with them.  We had recently considered getting the kids their own gear but the number of race specific SUP suppliers was fairly limited here and having something custom made locally would take months to get done.  They were now the area's company reps for these two brands and were going to try to bring SIC/BIC to the west coast of Mexico.  We were all to happy to work with them and be one of the few in this area to be on the SICMaui brand and so we ordered up two boards for the kids.

Virtually all the kid's entire SUP Elite Team have purchased or acquired their own boards to train on.  The trick is that to save time and a bunch of money in shipping, taxes etc Ashley needed to get two 12'6" boards and bags to the airport in the USA, persuade the ticket agent to ignore the fact that they both exceed the airlines' length limitation policies and get them through Mexican customs without getting hassled along the way.

The first step was to get the freight company to deliver the packages that were coming from Massachusetts, USA at a time when she just happened to be in Atlanta long enough to receive them.  This was not like waiting for a package from Amazon delivered by UPS.  The freight company ended up being very accommodating and coordinated with Ashley for delivery.  They even brought an 18 wheel freight truck to Ashley's crash pad during a window of time when she was sure to be there to hand off two super large boxes containing the kid's new boards.  Step one done!

The kid's new boards safe at Ashley's crash pad.

The boards sat for a bit in Atlanta .  As Ashley's return trip home approached the stress of actually getting the boards to the airport and down here to Mexico began to grow.  During that time she did manage to get the "ok" from a special services agent at the airport concerning the size of the packages.  She also scored a ride from one of her crashpad room mates to help get the boards to the airport.  Two potential bumps along the way figured out.

The day before Ashley's arrival in Mexico for the holiday the airplane she was working had a mechanical issue and was grounded in Rochester, New York.  Noooooo!  All this planning, anticipation, stress and mom may not even make it home with Santa's special packages!  The plan for the crew was to have them stay the night and hand over the flight to another crew then catch an early morning flight out of Rochester back to Atlanta.  That was just NOT going to work!  As soon as Ashley realized she might be stuck in Rochester for the night and miss her flight home to Mexico the next morning she started looking for a way to get back to Atlanta.  There was one last flight to Atlanta that day and she was able to get a seat on that last flight and was back in Atlanta later that night.  Disaster averted!

It's 7am and it is off to the airport with two SUPs stuffed into the back of a BMW.

The next day Ashley was to head to Puerto Vallarta.  At 7am, with help from her room mate, Ashley was off to the airport and checked in the two board bags.  She had to pay some oversized luggage fees but the bags were checked in!  All good right?  Well, not so fast.  It couldn't have been that easy right?  Ashley boarded the plane and used a baggage tracking app to double check the location of the boards while the plane sat at the gate loading passengers.  According to the app they were not loaded yet and not anywhere near the plane!  Noooo!  Boarding continued and the boards were not moving anywhere closer to the plane.  Shit!  Of course I am getting the play by play via Facebook Messenger unable to do anything about it...not that I could even do anything if I was there anyway.  Just as the plane was about to close the doors and leave the terminal the captain came on the intercom and announced that they would be leaving just a few minutes late to load some additional cargo.  To Ashley's relief this cargo included the kid's boards and she received word that they were being loaded into the front of the plane and would make it to Mexico!!  Another disaster narrowly avoided!

13 foot board bags on a 4 foot rack.

I arrived early at the Vallarta airport and hoped that Ashley would get through customs without triggering the dreaded "red light".  The "red light" is a way for Mexican customs to randomly select passengers for further inspection and questioning about what they had along with them entering the country.  It wasn't that we were hiding anything it was just that it was one more hassle along the way for items that we were going to use personally and not for resale or profit.  Fortunately, Ashley emerged from the international terminal on the other side of customs with the assistance of a baggage porter and she appeared to be in a good mood.  Always a good thing.

The porter handed off the bags to us and we made our way out to the parking lot to figure out how to even strap these large new boards to the small rack of our car.  Ashley had purchased some new surfboard straps and I had some old ones and I was able to double strap the boards to the roof.  With fingers crossed that the boards would not fly off the roof we headed to Sayulita for our next challenge.

We knew the kids would be waiting for their mother to arrive at the house and hoping to get a glimpse of anything that would give away any Christmas present secrets.  Friends of ours in town have a garage full of their family's surfboards and they were happy to let us store the boards there overnight so that was our first stop before heading home.  This allowed us to arrive at the house without obvious Christmas cargo strapped to the roof.  As expected, the kids were waiting for our arrival and as soon as we opened the car doors we could tell Trace was a bit deflated.  Happy to see his mom but deflated.  His last chance for the Christmas race board he had been hoping for was dashed when we arrived with only mom and her suitcase.  This reaction of course made the whole effort even sweeter because we knew what waited for the kids in just two more days.

Christmas boards, "wrapped up" with leashes, fins and T-shirts.

The next challenge was to get the boards from our friend's house and to our house to hide them in our bodega.  Once that was done we needed to figure out how we wanted the kids to find them come Christmas morning.  Christmas Eve day Ashley coaxed the kids into town for lunch and some shopping leaving me at the house to do some work.  This gave me a window to run back up to our friend's house and grab the boards to bring them back to our house unseen.  The plan worked perfectly.  Later that afternoon we were due to go to our friends house for Christmas Eve dinner and we sent the kids over just a little ahead of us.  This gave us the needed time to be able to bring the boards up from the bodega and unpack them so the kids could find them in the morning.  Again, our planning and efforts worked perfectly and the boards were in place for them to find them on Christmas morning.

Whew!  All the planning, stress and secrecy was well worth it to bring these awesome boards to the kids.  Now they will be on their own equipment as they continue to train each week and travel to their next competition.  Special thanks to their Sayulita JR SUP Team coaches for their input, The Kruegar Family for storage assistance and to Performance Stand Up Paddle for supporting the kids and to mom for coordinating everything on the USA side then lugging these two 12'6" monsters all the way from Atlanta for Christmas!

Trace is soooo stoked!

Felices Fiestas 2018!

Alex And Pegasus Mid-flight!

This great shot was taken by la Patrona Polo & Equestrian Club during Alex' jumping competition over the weekend.  The Club, facilities, stables and grounds are just stunning and remind me of skiing at Deer Valley or Snow Basin back in Utah.  Just amazing.

As usual Alex' team, though small and riding on "rescued horses", continued to show that they are a skilled group at all jumping heights in every contest.  I say "rescued" horses because most of the horses Alex' team uses have been "rescued" from neglect, indifferent owners or just plain abandoned. Goes to show that with a skilled trainer, a good coach and dedicated riders many of these horse have been given a new life and the results can be fantastic.

The horse Alex' is most fond of is "Pegasus" and he is a rescue with a less than pleasant personality most of the time.  Alex is the only one who really wants to train and compete with him and they are doing great things together.  Alex placed in 5th place at the 65cm height and competed for her first time at 75cm.

Sayulita JR SUP Team - Pacific Paddle Games 2018 - Part 3

Sunday was the final day of competition and we were able to arrive at the beach a little later than Saturday.  The day's race would be the "technical" race where the racers basically sprint one lap of 1.4 miles around several stationary buoys navigating swell and waves along the way.

The course was essentially the same as last year so the kids were well prepared.  Alex' group was up after a few races so she sat on the beach with her helmet on and waited with butterflies in her stomach.  Again, Jade Howson appeared and wished her new friends from Sayulita good luck and provided some hometown advice to Alex.  Super cool of her to take time from her JR Pro pre-race prep to encourage some of the kids on our team.

Alex gets some advice from Jade Howson.

Minutes later Alex was on the starting line with several of the girls she met during the previous day's race and they were off!  The wave conditions had mellowed a bit but there were still moments where large sets came through.  Fortunately for Alex' group the race began during a lull in the surf and they paddled off to the first buoy.

Alex begins her technical race.  Black helmet on the right.

During this time Trace had been on the beach waiting with his best buddy and team mate, Kolbi.  Jade gave our boys a brief "pep-talk" and soon after the they were off!

Trace and Kolbi get ready for their start. 11 and under boys and girls all raced in a single group but placed separately.

After the kids were in the water we had a few minutes to move over towards the finish line and grab the binoculars to be able to see the race progress a bit better.  The race is a fast one of only one lap but part of it far from the beach and we tried to locate Alex in her group.  We spotted her in second place and not far behind the leader.  And, she was actually closing on her!!!  Whaaaaat!!!?  The swell had picked up a bit and we could see the racers moving parallel to the beach between the large rolling walls of water.  The leader made the 180 degree turn to head to the final buoy turn and Alex was now right behind her.  Things got a bit crazy from there as her coaches, other parents and friends of both girls began yelling unheard encouragement from the beach.

They made the last buoy side by side and both looked to grab a wave in to the beach and the finish line.  Super exciting and the group of parents around us watching the race began to buzz!!  Alex and the other girl picked up the same wave but Alex was trying to ride it where the wave was a bit steeper than where the other girl was at.  She tried like crazy to hold onto it but it was just too much wave with such a long board and she went down as the other girl rode a smaller less steep section of the wave all the way to the beach.  Ughhhh!!  So much fun to watch the hard fought contest between the two girls.  Alex collected herself and was able to catch a wave finishing only 30 seconds behind her in second place.

Traces contest was less of a nail biter with a whole lot less drama but was also really fun to watch.  He knew his buddy, Kolbi, was going to blow the doors off the competition so he had his eye on the next fastest boy in his group who was just 30 seconds faster than him the previous day bumping Trace to 3rd.

We picked up Trace with the binoculars as he made the second to last turn heading to the last bouy to  pick up a wave to the beach.  11 year old boys with helmets on look so similar at a distance so it was hard to figure out just who was who.  The boy who he wanted to beat this race was able to grab a wave ahead of Trace and rode it all the way to the beach to foil Trace's plans for second place.  Trace grabbed a wave too and finished third just 25 seconds behind.

The awards ceremony followed and it was fantastic to once again see the kids hard work and dedication pay off standing on the podium.  During the weekend our team brought home 11 medals!  We loved hearing the commentators say "From Sayulita" as each one of the kids received their medals.  The coaches and parents were so proud of the team and how they got after it with energy, skill and sportsmanship.

The Elite Team!

Once again, our team from this year made it's mark on the Pacific Paddle Games.  Our group of kids put it all out there on the water in tough conditions that even challenged the pros and did it with skill, class and a smile.  It was hard not to notice the team from Sayulita was in the water and doing well.

One of the biggest things to happen over the weekend was a donation of a handful of 12'6" race boards from The Paddle Academy SUP race program. Their program picked up a sponsorship from SICMaui and the loaner boards they let our team borrow for the weekend's event were just taking up space in storage unused.  Amazing and super generous!  Several of our Elite Team kids have received the attention from Brawner Boards and received a discount to purchase their own 12'6" race boards to train with in Sayulita but much of the kid's group trains with the older 11' boards.  So, with the addition of the donated boards the Elite Team may be able to come close to all be training on real race sized boards for the first time ever when the boards arrive later this winter!!

So, second year at the Pacific Paddle Games.  What did we learn?

-Our team is prepared.  Training in variable conditions is to our team's benefit.  You could see a difference in competitors, including the pros.  Some were comfortable in surf and some were not.

-Our team really likes to have fun but competes at a high level too and supports each other.

-The announcers can actually pronounce "Ostrowski"...most of the time.

-SUP pros continue to be so supportive and always give back to the kids.  

-It is great to meet new kids with the same interests in other places.

-Our program is unique.  We now know of and met a couple other kid supportive programs out there but there are few like our program in small town Mexico.  Fun to meet parents from other programs too.

-I am not sure if other SUP kids know what to make of our team from Sayulita.  I watched kids around them during the weekend's parties and events and it was interesting. All of them are Spanish and English speaking but most are sun bleached blonde. All are physically very fit thanks to their training and ocean lifestyle.  They all have ocean skills, compete hard and are composed under pressure.  They are always having fun no matter if they are at beach, competing, having dinner, traveling or at a pre-race party and it is noticeable. They are kids being kids and the youngest member on the team can hang out with the oldest kid.  The team has a positive energy and it is contagious. I am not sure all this is the norm so I feel like our group is special.

-SUP racing, like other sports, takes money.  Gear, travel, lodging, logistics and other expenses really add up to be able to attend races.  Our team of 30-40 kids practices weekly on essentially smaller recreational boards that are getting tired and constantly need repairs and many kids who could travel cannot with the costs involved.  If anyone out there wants to help support the team in any way or may know some who could contact the The Sayulita JR SUP Team here or drop us a message via the blog.

Alex Podiums Twice At Hipico del Mar

Alex continued to collect medals but this time it was off the water at her team's horse jumping competition that was held last weekend.  She competed both Saturday and Sunday at a height of 65cm at Hipico del Mar just across the state line in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.

Alex and her favorite horse, Pegasus, jumped both days penalty free making this the first time Alex brought home not only one but two-third place medals.  She was super happy to place at the weekend's competition and along with Pegasus will be competing again in December most likely a bit higher at a 75cm jump height.  Even better Ashley was here to be able to cheer her on and see her do so well.  Each time we see her she looks more and more comfortable on the back of a horse and she continues to get high praise from her riding coach.  Check out the video too.

Aspen Lane House Has Sold!!!

It is done!  We have closed on our house in Park City.  As of yesterday we no longer own property in the USA.  About a month after the initial offer came in the house is now owned by a new family.  Ashley and I are happy and sad at the same time. After our summer in Park City we knew it was not a place we want to come back to so we put it up for sale and luckily for us the right buyer came forward and is now the new owner.

Aspen Lane August 2018

At the end of October Ashley headed to Park City on her own and started organizing, donating and selling anything that would not be coming back with us to Mexico.  The kids and I joined her on the November 1st and we packed up the last of our remaining items that would fit in a suitcase or duffle bag. Seeing our artwork, furniture house stuff etc drive off with other people was difficult.  Pretty much everything in the house that was still there had some kind of memory attached to it from our time there.

The kids were patient and did not give us much grief for being bored since they were too busy just trying to stay warm under puffy down jackets, socks, beanies and blankets.  It snowed too!  They loved to see old photos of us and our families before they came along.  Friends and neighbors stopped by to say hello and some to even pick up items that they wanted for their own.  Everyone knew how we loved that house since many friends really enjoyed the house as well.  It just had a good feel to it and one could sense that just sitting in the living room.  The house just felt right.

During our time at the house we receive the buyer's pre-purchase inspection report.  The items that needed to be attended to were substantial to say the least.  Some things were not unexpected for a 40 year old house, some items were a surprise and some items were things we knew we couldn't pay for.  Lacking time or money to set everything straight pre-purchase we hoped that the buyer would come back with an amount to deduct from the purchase price to make up for the inspection issues.  Until that happened, all we could do was to keep packing so that we did not have to return to Park City at some later date.

After about 5 days of work, the kids and I left Ashley alone to finish the job and headed back to Mexico with 11 bags of personal and house items.  If we did not get to LAX and then on to PVR we may have had to stay somewhere until we could get seats to come home.  Fortunately we were able to  get to both destinations flying "stand by" and by the time we arrived in Puerto Vallarta all our luggage had made it as well.  Ashley stayed on to ship, clean and tie up lose ends and say her own "good byes" to the Aspen Lane house.  

During that time she had a chance meeting with the buyer.  Not something that usually happens but they introduced themselves to each other and had a bit of a visit.  Apparently the buyer had been recently widowed and had a 10 year old daughter and were relocating to Park City from an outlying town to be able to attend school in the school district.  The house reminded him of the time he spent with his wife in Maine and really wanted to make the deal work...and so did we.  He loved the house and the fact that it would continue to be occupied by a family made Ashley and I feel good about handing it off to new owners who would make their own memories.

The last sunrise from the Park City house.

Shortly after the kids and I got home and Ashley returned to Atlanta we received news from our realtor with an updated offer for a sale price deduction based on the items that needed to be remedied.  It was substantial though not really surprising and we agreed to the price deduction just to be able to walk away and allow the new owner to take care of items he felt were necessary to correct.  Just yesterday we received news that the deal was done and could see the funds that were wired to Ashley's account following the closing.  It was a cash offer so things went very smoothly with no banks involved for financing etc.

We are sad to leave the house but we are happy another family is excited to make it home.  We now turn to our construction project in Mexico that has been limping to the finish line due to an unresponsive contractor and capital we just didn't have any more of.  It is time to make memories in our new home south of the border.

Sayulita JR SUP Team - Pacific Paddle Games 2018 - Part 2

Before sunrise another team dad and I took the kids down to the beach for check-in for the event.  The kids love this part since it is a lot like Christmas with a all the SUP related swag they get.  T-shirts, jersey's, bags, stickers, energy drinks etc.  We were early which made for a short wait in line and a little less stress leading up to the morning's race.  Once checked-in and the kids were able to just chill out and focus on the long distance race just a little bit later.

Pre race briefing. Photo by SUP The Mag.

The race, just like last year, would be a water start and be 6 miles long. No surprises like last year when we were supposed to race only 3 miles and the organizers doubled the distance for the youth competitors at the very last minute.  We were thankful for having accurate information this year.  The professionals and more experienced racers would head out first with the youth competitors heading out last.  The surf continued to be strong as the swell grew waves pounded the beach.  Fortunately for some of the racers they only needed to contend with the surf one time when they were on the way in to the finish line.

With the pros already started, the Open class waits to begin while the youth sit waiting.

 Just like last year the kids received their pre race briefing, grabbed their boards, paddles, water and headed out to the starting line beyond the surf break.  Thankfully there was a pause in the wave action and our racers were able to get out for their race without dealing with waves and burning up precious energy.

All the kids headed off into the water confident of what to expect this year.  The coaches and parents assumed their position on the beach and waited.  The racers would paddle 1.5 miles out to a turn buoy and come back to complete one lap.  They would do this twice completing the 6 mile distance so they would be out of range to keep track of for about half an hour, be visible again at the half way point and at the finish. The race began and so did the waves once again.  The race followed the coast line so the ocean swell was coming in sideways to their race direction.  It was big enough that the racers actually disappeared between swells and some racers with less ocean experience even opted to paddle on their knees.

As the kids approached the half way point they had to make a turn in front of our location on the beach.  With our handy binoculars we were able to identify and point out each kid as they made the turn to the coaches and other parents.  The idea was for the kids to stay grouped together drafting to conserve energy but the conditions immediately spread the kids out and they made their way the best they could individually.

SUP Parents.

Close to an hour passed by and we could begin to see the colored jerseys our kids were wearing approaching the final turn buoy and hopefully find a wave to ride all the way to the beach.  We picked out Trace from the crowd and he grabbed a wave but was a little toward the tail of his board and went down.  He recovered quickly and surfed to the beach like a pro and after briefly getting tangled in his leash he sped to the finish line to finish 3rd in his group.

Just a half minute behind him was Alex.  She too caught a wave early but was able ride it to the beach without falling in.  This has always been a weak point in Alex' racing but she was totally solid this day and finished 2nd in her class.

All the kids finished the race battling the tough conditions and everyone was happy about the results.  Our ocean kids adapted really well to the waves and it showed.  Once all the competitors were off the water it was awards time.  We were so happy to see the kids on the podium receiving their medals.  They both had goals and worked hard this year and to see them come home with something for the effort was pretty special.  Trace was determined to podium and was super happy to share the stage with his best friend and teammate, Kolbi.  Alex has almost always finished behind her other girl teammates and would come home after practice frustrated that she was not getting credit for her hard work from some other girls on the team.  In the last year she has grown physically and improved so much on the water it was fantastic for her to go out and finally earn respect for her skills from her team and other competitors.  She was fired up and determined for this weekend's races and it was awesome to see.  Super proud of both of our racers.

 The day concluded with some preliminary races for the next day's events so the team got off the beach early and planned to meet up at the house we rented for dinner.  Again, the kids get along really well and they were all happy to hang out at dinner, playing on the Wii computer game console and watching a movie.  To bed early for everyone and off to the beach the next day for the technical race.  The first day was a success and everyone knew the team from Sayulita was in the mix this year!

Post Hurricane Willa Update

Well, we missed another one.  Hurricane Willa went well north of us and we are thankful.  It rained for the better part of two days and Tropical Storm Vicente stayed to the south and we never saw the rain it may have brought.  The surf was big and waves ran up to the beach and to the beachfront walls of homes and businesses.  The north end beach did get reshaped quite a bit especially from about where Las Sirenas Beach Club is(was) towards the river mouth.  Las Sirenas Beach Club was a casualty of the the storm but I am sure our friend, Meg, will rebuild and be back in business just like always.

Communities in northern Nayarit were not so lucky.  It is very hard still to get information about the extent of the devastation that has occurred.  Reports are that over 100,000 people were effected just up the coast a few hours.  Transportation routes have been destroyed, houses are filled with flood debris or just gone.  People lost everything and very quickly from what I am understanding.  Very sad to see and hear about our neighbors to the north since it could have very easily been us.  Relief efforts have been organized all week here in town bringing truck loads of clothes and food to those in need in that area.

Alex Horsin' Around

Alex is riding and jumping horses again this year.  Once we landed back in Sayulita in August she could not wait to get back to the ranch and back on a horse.  The problem was that the ranch would be closed for another couple weeks so she had to wait.  She waited patiently and has been riding 3x a week for a couple months.  She is currently preparing for a competition later in November.

Her favorite horse is "Pegasus" aka "Peggy" seen in the photos below.  He was not in good shape when she started riding again.  She said he wasn't being cared for as he should have been and it upset Alex so much to see him neglected. Week by week she made sure he was exercised, washed and brushed as he should be.  Now he looks great even after a bought of colic that created a brief emergency at the ranch during one of their sessions.  Now that he is looking and feeling better she is very happy to show off photos of him that she has taken.  She says she is very proud of him.

Pegasus is not an easy horse and is a bit of a project that no one wants to take on other than Alex. Pegasus and most of the horses at the ranch are rescue horses. She loves that horse and understands his personality and quirks.  I think he likes her too actually.  The whole team will do great later in November.
