Eugenio Barcelloni - Mexico
I arrived in Mexico a couple of months ago and I first discovered the right point breaks in the wild south coast of Oaxaca State until I fell in love with the greatest wave of Mexico, Puerto Escondido. Mexico has a lot of interesting things, the ancient culture of the natives with their stunning pyramids and the tasty spicy food. The beach of Zicatela has really powerful waves, the surf is intense and you better have a strategy when you go out there in the big days.
It’s a different surf and you really feel the competitivity of the big wave riding, you have to be patient and wait for a long time for the right wave until it will suddenly come to you.

MATTAshapes Volume Calculator
MATTAshapes Volume Calculator
Now you can check all the VOLUMES of your boards. We have it available at http://matta.surf/volume-calculator/ , a tool where you can put the model and the measures you want and it will give you the exact volume of the board you have chosen.
What is Volume?The volume of your board is a measurement of the total amount of space that your board occupies. If your board was a perfect cube, then a simple length x width x height calculation would be all we’ll need. However, as your board is full of curves and concaves, the whole thing is a little more complicated. In the past, the only way of knowing, was to dunk your board in a bath, and see how much water was displaced and this is why we normally measure surfboard volume in Cubic Litres rather than Cubic Inches.
Why is Volume Important?Volume matters because it gives us a realistic idea of how big our boards are. Ever since the “Retro Revolution” of the early 2000’s, people have been riding an increasingly diverse range of surfboards, and now the standard 3 dimensions (length, width and thickness) don’t give us enough information to decide if a board will work for us or not, and you can shape 3 boards with the same dimensions, that look and surf very differently.
If you’re surfing in warm water and good waves, the lower end of the scale is recommended. If you’re surfing in poor conditions, looking for help in crowded situations, or wearing thick wetsuits, lean towards the higher end of the range that you fall into.

Cosmic Children Festival
[vimeo id=”172801641″ align=”center” maxwidth=”800″]
The Cosmic Children 2016 presented by Vissla was fled by inspiring surfers from 4 continents and over 15 countries. And it was a real surf fiesta.
Thrills were assured, invoked sun although it rained for a while, waves, moon and stars, and the Cosmic Children received with honors the surfing beasts from the last few decades, in the unique Natural Park of Liencres, Cantabria, and the lighthouse of Santander.
