A shocking discovery!!!

Dear Brown Trout Productions Guys:
I had always wanted to go see Lucha Libre in TJ. I have been a fan ever since the documentary Nacho Libre came out exposing the hard life of Luchador "Nacho". Ever since then was  my obsession to go and see the Luchadors in action. Unfortunately with the drug violence in Mexico I have yet to be able to achieve my lifelong dream. Then, one day I was walking on the Imperial Beach Pier when I saw real Luchadors in action!!!!! At first I was confused; why were the majority of them wearing Hawaiian shirts? and why were they on surfboards? While pondering these very serious questions I gleefully watched as numerous fighters went to battle against each other, the waves and sometimes themselves. When the bloodshed subsided and the crowd dispersed I went home very satisfied. That is not to say that I did not continue pondering the reason as to why the Luchadors were surfing. In fact, for three days straight after witnessing the event I was stuck behind my computer, researching. After 72 brutal hours of analyzing different sources such as The Bible, old issues of Gourmet Magazine, and interviewing people who were trying to sell stuff on Craigslist I came to the terrifying conclusion that the Luchadors were not Luchadors at all. I discovered that in the fifties, somewhere in the desert in Nevada there was a secret, underground,  cage fighting ring in which Mexican Wrestlers from all over the world would go to test themselves. One day a spaceship filled with the decedents of the Silver Surfer crashed on the sight. The engine of the ship had cracked releasing a strange nuclear substance that caused the alien beings and the wrestlers to mold together into surfer/wrestler/badass hybrids. When the government found out they quickly quarantined the crash zone(this would later become known as Area 51). There they have been contained and quarantined. In recent years decendants of the crash had managed to escape. There have been a number of sightings at Lower Trestles and most recently in Imperial Beach. There is no doubt in my mind that this is what the Myans were refering to when they predicted the end of the world. Attached are some pictures that I managed to take. Beware!!!

This is their leader( El Luchador de Playa Imperial)

Though they may appear incredibly good looking it is ill advised to approach the fighters.

very few pictures exist of this many of them together, I am willing to sell this copy for cash-money

Yes, they are responsible for recent activity in Somalia

Not your ordinary BZ shredder

One of the smaller escapees...on the prowl

you should be afraid

Dont be fooled by his style, hes just as dangerous as the rest of them

El Luchador de Playa Imperial Prepares to piledrive an opponent

The calm before the storm

They are not affraid to get barreled
We at Brown Trout Productions would like to thank Anon. for this warning. If you or a loved one ever sees these surfer/wrestler/badass hybrids again, take it as a sure sign that the world is about to end and hide in the underground bunker that we all know you have in your back yard. The apocalypse is coming...

about to fall...



September is the month where two things happen, the water gets slightly colder, and Santa-Ana winds start to approach at the end of the month. Luckily, this time of year, a local spot known for some of the flattest, worst wavves in the county breaks with pristine size, and conditions. A steep south coinciding with strong north winds gave us an opportunity to get perfect hollow, headhigh-overhead-occasionally doubleoverhead closeout barrels. We also got a chance to score some perfect peaks with an early season Santa-Ana at home. No matter the location, everywhere we were, our local photog, Jeff Wallis was there to snap some great shots. So enjoy! 

up north, it was not uncommon to see 12-15 set wavves roll through like this and just demolish us.  

izzy sets up for a foamy pit close to home

I'm about to attack jeff with my fins

daniel got to enjoy barrels that weren't brown for once..

"so mushy"

izzy doesn't ever get tired of In n' Out

Although we mentioned that up north it was mainly death barrels, I found a few ramps.
