The Dog Files: Blogging From the X Games Surf Comp
Published: 2:00 a.m. PT by Omar

Odog AKA Omar Etcheverry reporting from the 2007 X Games of surfing live from Puerto Escondido.

I'm down here doing the television commentating alongside X Games and E channel announcer/TV personality legend Sal Masekela to an estimated 100 million viewers world wide.

The last few days have been a blur of great meetings with ESPN staff and out of control drinking with a few of my childhood heroes such as Brad “Gerr” Gerlach and Martin “Potz” Potter. Oh my, the stories I've heard about professional surfing in the 80's from those two have been all time. Classic!

It amazes me how much work and organization goes into X Games events. It's really cool. It makes me proud and motivated to be a part of the X Games.

Have to run for now. I'll be back with photos and more blog’n soon!
