Surf Spot: Boca de Pascuales, Colima, Mexico

First surf stop! Pascuales is a beach break less known, but can be as big as the break at Puerto Escondido-- in the summer. In the winter, it's surf able... for people like Forrest, I would probably never get in the water here. The graveyard of broken boards at our hotel is enough of a deterrant.
We stayed in our tent at Hotel Real de Pascuales. They have people set up tents under a palapa (palm roof) and you get to use the bathroom for 60 pesos a night.  Most importantly, you're right in front of the surf break.  Camped next to us and staying at the hotel rooms were surfers from all over the world-- Mexico, Germany, Peru, Australia, etc.
Pascuales is a short (17km) drive off the Mexico 200 from town.  The wave is best from about 9-12am, but it is steep and fast-closing (translation: it would smash and crash a long board rider like me).
