BSC’s hard working staff member and talented team rider Bill Winchester has left on a no-holds barred, round the world tour for the rest of the year. With an extensive list of exotic locations on the ‘to-do’ list, we’re sure to hear plenty of interesting tales from the man. Here’s his first report:

Hola!!

How is everyone?? Just thought id let you know i am alive and well.

Ive been in Puerto for about a week now, waves have been pretty fun. The first two days were small but then it kept picking up each day until yesterday was about 8 - 10 foot…pretty damn scary. There were only 5 of us out on the whole beach which doesnt make it any more comfortable.

Its definitally the heaviest beachy ive ever surfed. Today was a better size at 4-6 foot, the sand isnt perfect at the moment cos its the first big swell of the year but its still pretty sick.

Ive done a few 2 hour Spanish classes and will probably do them for another week. Ive come to the conclusion that i am an absolute retard with no capacity to learn a new language. Im really hoping a miracle occurs because at the moment i think im more confused than when i got here.

My favourite cheap snack at the moment is vegemite tortillas….so good!!

Anyway, hope everyone is well. Im off to hang in the pool and then probly have a nap.

Hasta luego,

Bill
