The Latin American Surf Tales (Out Now)!
The Latin American Surf Tales is my first ever book. The story details my travels through Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Brazil and more.

    Hi Jason. Thanks for all your comments. However, I'm concerned about how angry my videos make you, as it suggests to me you're deeply unhappy. Please please reach out if you're genuinely struggling! And of course, plenty of places I haven't surfed, and many more I have, but won't be mentioned on KZread. Using other people's footage in small modified segments is also ok, under fair use copyright law :)

    Should also note. When renting and riding a motobike in Bali, it is fairly common to get pulled over by the police where they ask for a motorcycle license and papers. This is a common tourist tax, so expect to cough up a few rupiahs!

    It’s an odd wave because most of energy is directed to those certain peaks like Old Man’s & Echo beach but it doesn’t break much along the beach elsewhere unless there’s good swell. Which makes it kind of odd for a beach break.
