Preparation

6 months ago, Jeremiah and myself were in Uganda dreaming up our next adventure. Countless possibilities were suggested, and finally we decided on the trip through Central America. Since then we have been researching roads, countries, surf breaks, Mountains, reefs, gear, and school buses. We all chipped in some cash and my friend Nigel, a diesel mechanic, and I drove to Baltimore, test drove several buses, crawled around underneath and purchased a 1998 School Bus.
Since then we have taken out the seats and stripped the bus clean. We are in the process of building the inside to our version of a surf RV.

We leave from the Outer Banks in the middle of the night on Sept 30th. 4 of the 5 guys will be on the bus as well as a sweet Mexican Lady and her 3 children who live on the Outer Banks over the summer. We will return them to their home in Mexico. We wil pick up the last guy, Clint, on the way in Austin where he flies in from SoCal.

  1. Not only do I believe you will have mind blowing adventures in the schoolbus, but that you will make it look awesome inside.

    There is at least a shag rug, right?
