Watch: A Bite-Sized Taste Of Mainland Mexico’s Stellar Late Season Run

Small white boy heads southward, gets extremely barreled in ‘Pequeño Niño Blanco.’

During the filming of EAST, Dave Rastovich offered an insight that most of us spend our lives reaching for, fingers stretching but always grasping at smoke. 

Rasta spun a vivid tale about the phenomenon he calls mind melt. Spend more than ten seconds in the tube, he says, and the world starts to fall away — right there, you hit the pinnacle of human experience.

“Anytime that happens — when you have to take a breath — that’s the peak of the surfing experience for me,” noted Dave. 

Ty Burgess’ brain, judging by his latest YouTube edit Pequeño Niño Blanco (that’s Little White Boy for you uncultured swine, courtesy of Google Translate), must be pure mush by now.

The plot’s simple: Ty chased a swell, crossed the border, and found himself some enviable Mexican sand. To honour his indulgence, we invite you to go ahead and indulge in a little viewing for yourself.
