Watch: Jacob Szekely in ‘Chicharito’

Mexican churners and leg burners.

The Mexican pointbreak is to stateside surfers what the points of the Gold Coast are to us Australians. Although in Mex you still stand a chance of scoring zippering sand-bottomed perfection without the carpet of humanity scrapping for every wave. Sure, you have the odd machete-wielding local with a distaste for gringos but give me that over the crowd at Snapper or Kirra any day.

Here, divisive Californian surfer, Jacob Szekely scores what he called the trip of a lifetime south of the border.
