WHAT MEXI LOG FEST IS ALL ABOUT
I started Mexi Log Fest because I love surfing and I love Mexico. This event is about more than just longboarding. It’s about bringing people together—longboarders, artists, musicians—everyone who loves the surf culture.
Mexi Log Fest is about good vibes, the people, and creating unforgettable moments. It’s not just a competition; it’s a celebration. It’s for everyone—pro surfers, locals, and even the kids on the beach watching it all happen. It’s a festival where surfing and community come together, building memories that last a lifetime.

FOUNDER, IZZY PRECIADO
Ah, MexiLogFest - a single fin longboard contest south of the border, where dogs roam the beaches free of the confinement of leashes, as do the surfers. The event itself is much more than a competition: its a week-long celebration of the Mexican logging lifestyle in proper fiesta fashion. The camaraderie is unlike that of anywhere else, bringing together some of the most radical people from around the globe. And if you are lucky enough to go, you know that none of this is possible without the man behind it all, the head honcho, El Patrón: Israel Preciado. Video brought to you by Howler Bros.
