5th Annual “Mexi Log Fest” Photo Gallery
Feast your eyes on over 100 photos of some of the best loggers in the world, surfing a minute-long left point break in the comfortably warm waters of Mainland Mexico. Honestly I couldn’t imagine a better setting to showcase traditional logging than La Saladita. ¡Viva la fiesta!
This will be an annual pilgrimage for me, and has been with many other insanely talented long boarders around the world. Mexi Log Fest is an invitational logging competition that gathers over 80 of the best loggers in the world for 10 days of competition, good vibes, and FUN. Founded by Israel Preciado, his dream was to create a classic longboarding event in his home country of Mexico and I’d say he’s doing a hell of a good job.
These photos were taken over a 14 day period in sequential order. Some were part of the following articles for SURFER and Men’s Journal written by Matt Shaw:
