Mexi Log Fest 2017, a unique surf invitational competition and music festival, goes down May 4-7th at La Salidita in Mexico:

The multi-day experience includes yoga, local cuisine, surf clinics for kids, live music, and the marquee event – Joel Tudor’s Duct Tape Invitational “competition.”

The goal of the contest is to showcase traditional logging, and classic style. Competitors are required to ride single fin logs over 9 feet, without leashes. There’s no interference rule so multiple surfers can ride the same wave at the same time. In fact it’s encouraged with a best shared wave category.

Although there is $24,000 in prize money on the line, the Mexi Log Fest is designed to be different from most other major surf competitions. Instead of focusing on winning and losing, the vibe is intended to be “mindful and fun-loving” with an emphasis on sustainability, classic style, and cultural respect.
