Sanuk teamrider,  Matt Pagan, has been on a tear lately, slicing his dicing his was across the map and world of competitive surfing. This is what happened when our Grizzly Adam caught up with him in between flights:

Grizzly Adam: Yeah Matt! We’ve seen you all over the place the last few weeks. Photos. Web videos. Contest wins. Blogging. You’re everywhere these days! What’s the scoop?

Matt Pagan: Well, last month I ended up winning the overall season in the South Bay Surf Series and won a free trip to El Salvador. At the beginning of this month, I went down to Mazatlan, Mexico and competed in the Quiksilver 4 Star ASP WQS event. Then I went down to Salina Cruz with Body Glove for a film/photo trip. We scored some great waves

GA: Mazatlan eh? How’d that shake out?

MP: I made the man-on-man quarterfinals and placed 5th. I also scored a photo on SurferMag.com by Bryce Lowe-White at the Manhattan Beach Pier a few days before I left.

GA: Any good taco spots?

MP: Is a piñata filled with candy?

GA: Touché. What so else is new?

MP: The day I arrived home, Ian Cairns (Pacsun USA Team Coach) asked if I could compete on the ISA USA surf team at the end of this month in Panama. There will be 32 countries competing and I am so excited to represent my country. I can’t wait! The march will be on the 25th and the first day of competition will be June 26th.

GA: USA! USA! USA! (Awkward silence). Anyways, beyond that where can we expect to see you this summer?

MP: I fly home on July 3rd and then leave for the 4 Star in El Salvador on July 5th. Beyond these two events, I plan on competing in the Nike “Chosen Crew” video contest, Innersection.tv, some local pro ams and the 6 star WQS Europe Leg in August.

GA: Sounds like some stiff competition… Got any tricks up your sleeve?

MP: Let’s just say, I’ve been working closely with Bryce (the assistant photo editor for Surfer) and my younger brother, Mike and we’re working some cool angles. It’ll text you the link.

And with that Matt had to split, but check out what he sent over before boarding his flight…

Ay caramba! Who’s the stud? No, not that chiseled dude on the left… We’re talking about international man of mystery and Sanuk surf teamer, Christian Corzo. What you’re gazing at is his recent appearance in Mexico Men’s Health Magazine. With moves like Zorro, Christian has been making washboard abs look like yesterday’s beanbag. He’s the muchacho all the señoritas want to do the macarena with and the hombre all the luchadores wanna dunk in salsa verde.

Hopefully you’ve brushed up on that Spanish, or else you’re going to have one heck of a tiempo reading the article… ¡Arriba!

!Arriba! The Pacifico Surf Music Festival Mazatlan 2010 (dubbed: National) has gone down as one of the best contests (and fiestas) that Mexico has ever held. Conditions were more than “muy bueno” as Mazatlan cranked great surf throughout the weekend. Sanuk’s Christian Corzo of Puerto Escondido surfed his brains out to snag 2^nd place overall in the Open category. Check out Christian standing tall wearing mellow yellow!
