Made it to La Ventana!

Hey Everyone,

So Javier and I made it to La Ventana successfully and safely, the day we arrived was a beautiful 85 degrees out and nice palm trees everywhere. We launched our little 10 foot rigid hull inflatable boat the first morning and had three strikes from unknown fish, the next morning we went out again, we had a strike within 10 minutes of trolling and had hooked/landed a nice sized Dorado not long after the first strike. The boat is running great now and were planning on catching bigger fish soon!

Thanks for tuning in and ill post more fun adventures/pictures soon.

Last post from the US.

So over the last two days my friend Javier Dale and I have driven from the Oregon border to the border of Baja Mexico! Tomorrow morning we will be heading across the border and finding our first camping spot! Were hoping to make it to "The Wall" which is just about an hour north of Guerrero Negro. We didn't run into any trouble getting this far, our spirits are high and were preparing for the next great adventure.

By the Next time i post a blog i hope to have a video to post about our Fishing Adventures! I may even get a good Spear diving video!

Cheers,
Brendan

Getting Ready to Head South!

Happy Halloween,

With winter nearing so nears the winter kiteboard season in Southern Baja. Its been a great summer season in Newport OR and now its time to head down to La Ventana to teach friends Kite boarding and practice my moves. We are pulling a Truck and Trailer and scored a little 10 foot boat to fish and dive off of. This should be an excellent season!

Pictures from down south

This is a shot that was taken down on "choco lagoon in la ventana." The water in the lagoon is very dirty brown, hence its name Chocolate lagoon. Its cutoff from the ocean, it only fills up during a really high tide combined with an el norte, (north wind).

First Blog of Possibly Many

Hey Everybody!

Brendan Mathews here -

So for those of you that have no idea who i am or what i do, i could describe myself to you as an enthusiastic adventurer who aims at succeeding in what i love. I own two Coffee Shop/Ice cream parlors in Newport OR and work like crazy through the summer months. When summer is over, as a bird fly's south, I pack up, close down the shops for the winter, and chase my dream of an endless summer.


I have started writing this blog to share with people my adventurous life. My favorite sports are kite boarding and surfing, both of which i devote my life to get better at.

This is my first blog which outlines my mission statement as to why i am writing these, next i will let the fun begin by bringing you into my world.

Enjoy the Ride,
Brendan Mathews
