Cynthia, what a wonderful message. Means a lot! Truth told I’ve never thought of myself as a photographer or videographer, just an enthusiast. But I do like sharing the world as I see it, trying to capture interesting moments. :) I don’t get many comments from people in town so this is really special! Thank you :)

@@ShauninParadise😊

Oh wow gracias Jose you rock!

I thank Astrid for Astrid almost daily ;) thanks 4d

Call me anything but just don’t call me late for….. can you finish this phrase, Lori?

Hi Kazzy ! Thank you for still subscribing and watching:)))

Sean… what a rollercoaster it is huh? Thanks man

@@ShauninParadise I’m lucky to have a wife that understands,helps me keep my head above the water. Cheers man!

We have an enormous amount of love for each other. I’m so happy I found the love of my life, later in life ;)

I missed hearing from you guys! We do all have our own journey huh?

@@ShauninParadise Definitely. I think it is hard to get out of our heads long enough to remember that no matter how together people seem, we all have our inner shitshows going on. A reason to be kind to ourselves and others.

Sherry!!!! Thank you so much!

Life comes at you fast sometimes. Thanks for still being here:)))

Gracias Carol, I will tell Astrid too 🤙🏼

Woooooohooo Heidi!

Thanks Ron! How’s pv?

@@ShauninParadise Doing great....in the midst of moving from one side of PV to another! Todo bien!

Thanks you and I LOVE limoncello 😋 that’s a good idea, maybe I should make a fruit spirit with something I grow 🤔

@@ShauninParadise my favorite version is with limes, not lemons!! :) use the zest of perfectly ripe limes to increase the flavor!!

Thanks! You still stuck in Texas?!?

@@ShauninParadise yup. More to come on this weekend’s video!

I’m so happy you commented thank you!!! 2024 is wild

I’ve missed hearing from all you too. It’s mutual love 💕

Thanks Ron! 3 years is pretty dang close!!! Where in Mexico do you plan on retiring? If you have any questions about anything let me know 🤙🏼- shaun

@@ShauninParadise I'm liking San Pancho to retire. My wife likes Puerto Vallarta or Puerto Escondido, more Puerto Vallarta because of conveniences like hospital and the closeness of everything. We'll probably pick a landing spot and just explore until something feels right. My Mom's family all from Hawaii but to expensive for us and my wife is Filipino from Chicago, lol. We met working at United Airlines and hoping we can live somewhere affordable without worries. Love the videos and look forward to watching more. 🤙🌴🏄

@@ronwright5234 thanks Ron! Always best to check places out before you retire. San Pancho works for us, but it's very very small and the summers (now) can be brutal weather wise. Good luck with everything for you and your wife :)

I'm hoping my wife will want to live in a small town like San Pancho. I love to surf it's always been part of my life. I exercise daily and swim more since we live further from the beach. I'm 65 and still in good shape I get really depressed when I don't have time to swim or surf because it used to be so much part of my life. My home break now is San Onofre in Southern California it's pretty mellow there. I grew surfing Huntington Beach South Side of pier and Huntington Beach Cliffs. After high school I moved to Hawaii and I surfed 3 years in Hawaii living with family. I started surfing at around 10 years old before that it was canvas rafts with the rope on it, remember those back in 1967-70's... My uncle got me a long board and surfing never ended for me, totally stoke each time I paddle out. I have total respect for the ocean and its environment. Also, respect locals and the hidden breaks that are unknown to the outside world. I'm sure I'll have questions as we get closer to retirement but until then keep surfing and hope to paddle out one day in San Pancho or Sayulita. Aloha pumehana kealoha nui

Ian, you sound like a man who knows!

@ShauninParadise Yes, from past experience. Looking forward to a less stressful life, as we are moving to the area by the end of the year. I'm going to be down at the beginning of August to have a look at the area and what's available to buy or a plot of land to build.

Hi Misaela 🤙🏼 my main camera is a SONY ZV-1

The world is a crazy place:)

SP has one break, it’s a reef rock break w sand, but it’s not a point. It’s fun, but it really only shines in the late summer

cool can you travel close to other waves?

Also is it affordable down there - is the cost of living cheaper then LA ect...many gringos down there? Im thinking of retiring in Mexico - to have money money go further

@@user-nd1yg3mh8nthere’s a bunch of fun waves in the area. It’s not world class but it’s fun.

It’s cheaper than LA for sure, but there are less expensive places in Mexico. We love it tho, great area great people. There are gringos here but not too many 😂

I really feel this! my neighbors were all murdered just a day after I had a lengthy conversation with the mother of twin daughters This was in Rural Oregon... but even more murders in my neighborhood on Mount Tabor, Portland Oregon when I lived there... It was a very nice neighborhood too! So while my story is different, in that my things were not stolen, my sense of safety and trust were DESTROYED!! I feel much safer in Mexico as well, even when I was living down the street from wealthy Cartel members... once I had a conversation with them, and they understood I was NOT interested in doing business they left me alone. That said, my last trip both the man and his wife were murdered a week before I arrived... but it was cartel related. sigh** what a world we live in!!

So sorry about your Scuba stuff being stolen! I know it is actually very expensive! Take care and try to enjoy your life!!

Ugh. I hate getting robbed. Two weeks ago I chased a thief out of my house at night. All the way down the street. Lost my temper.

Wow this is an amazing story, sorry about your stuff. The whole world is changing, we all have to do our best to watch out for one another!
