Matt recounts his second day in Troncones Mexico, surfing Manzanillo point all to himself.
I woke up on day two after a decent nights sleep (still adjusting to sleeping with no a/c) and immediately starting shooting some photos of the waves while the light was good. Staying at the Inn at Manzanillo Bay you have such perfect views and access to the point, it’s really my kind of place. Nice enough to be comfortable but not pretentious, and a perfect surf front location.
There were a few other surfers staying in the hotel as well but none of them surfed the point that morning, opting instead to drive to the Ranch. A common behavior of surfers is to ALWAYS want to check the other spots first, even if waves are great at the current location. Why do we do that? I notice this habit most whenever I travel. Being raised on the sloppy waves of the Texas coast certainly encourages appreciation when one travels. The great thing about subsisting on a steady diet of bad surf is whenever you get halfway decent waves the stoke factor is off the charts! I'm usually first in the water with a huge smile on my face while other guys are debating whether to paddle out or not because it's less than head high?
