I learned about the surfing in San Blas years ago and took a roadtrip from the sun and fun of Mazatlan in the state of Sinaloa to the explore this Rivera Nayarit destination. This beach town nearly equidistant from Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta, was one of the destinations I most excited to return to see […]

Postcard – San Blas Perfection
by Craig Zabransky on September 17, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Postcards
After probably one of the more challenging (now probably classified as funnier) moments in my tour of Riviera Nayarit it was clearly chela time. We needed a cerveza; we needed an ice cold beer on the beach. So before the long drive to Tepic we said out proper goodbyes to Riviera Nayarit with this view […]
Sunset Sunday-The View of the River in San Blas, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on March 3, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
When I first arrived in San Blas, Nayarit on my road trip from Mazatlan the sun was setting. Luckily, I just pulled into town before dark. At the time, I still had no reservations for a hotel, but before I started inquiring about rooms I stopped along the river and took a sunset image. As […]
Sunset Sunday – San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on July 31, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
After two full days in San Blas, I booked the third night. The town still intrigued. And to celebrate I returned to the beach with my pen, journal and some pesos for a cerveza to watch the sunset. I arrived and selected one of the popular talapas and ordered a Pacifico. My mission to watch the […]

The Murals of San Blas
by Craig Zabransky on March 25, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Photo
After an early afternoon surfing session, I drove back towards town. I rented a car in Mexico and decided to take the road to the often obscure San Blas for a few days. A road trip designed for sun, surf, and cervezas. But like on any trip I discovered much more. I didn’t know San […]
Renting a Car in Mexico and the Road to San Blas
by Craig Zabransky on March 14, 2011 in Destination, Events, Mexico Travel
Many still consider travel to Mexico too adventurous. Or I guess to call a spade a spade, they consider it dangerous. I know I meet them. So when I decided to rent a car and take a solo road trip inside Mexico people thought I was inviting danger. I was beyond “staying adventurous;” I was […]
Surfin’ with Stoners in San Blas, Nayarit
by Craig Zabransky on March 10, 2011 in Beach, Mexico Travel
On every trip I always search for a surf destination. And when I received the call to come to Mexico, I spent my first long weekend escape finding surf. I discovered Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca. But, after many more months in Mexico, the only place I paddled out past the break to surf the swells […]
