    I'm looking into this right now for a senior year trip. It looks so tight and for me, I got the parents backing it up so I'll be carefree. Check the vids of it too

    I'm just going to do Laguna for spring break. Found a sick 4 person rental house on PCH across from 10th st for less than a g a week. Melaque would be a once in a lifetime trip tho

    Glad to hear that there's some interest in the Laguna trip. Due to Jason and my busy schedules, we are currently only planning a Melaque trip in 2011. We received a healthy amount of interest to have a trip down there and Melaque is an unreal destination for skimmers. As a result, we feel that the Melaque trip will be one not to be missed. I've been down there twice and know how much potential that place has. The people are welcoming, the water is warm, and the waves are really fun.

    There are all different types of waves down there. You can skim siders, liners, and straight waves. Although Laguna is a must visit location for skimboarders, Melaque is not far behind. If you ask anyone who's been there, they will attest to how sick of a place it is.

    There is a small chance that a Laguna trip can occur. If there is significant interest in a Laguna trip, then Jason and I will have to reassess and determine if we can fit a trip later in the year (possibly beginning or end of summer). What this means is, email alleyoopskim@hotmail.com and request a Laguna date if that's what you want. We do our best to accommodate our campers, so don't hesitate to tell us what you think.

    I had the most fun skimboarding in my entire life the first day in Melaque. The possibility of skimming a spot with a sider going both from right to left and left to right. It was skimboarding heaven for me.

    after witnessing the last one in Laguna, I would say that it is absolutely worth it. I would've killed to be able to do that when I was younger, especially if I was from the east coast. People who visit from other states aren't likely to know when and where to skim, and if they do happen upon the right spot at the right time, they aren't likely to get many waves.

    Every kid on that trip got to ride near perfect West st. from the primary without any interference. There is a certain respect given to kids on that trip because the locals understand and respect what Paulo and Jason are doing. If you have an opportunity to visit Laguna under their guidance, do it.
