Photo: Dave Nelson&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style=\\\"font-size:130%;\\\"&gt;Timmy Reyes might&amp;#8217;ve won El Ni\\u00f1o.&lt;\\/strong&gt; The title was worth repeating. He did 10,000 miles on the road and more than double that in the sky all for the sake of swell. We called him up to get filled in on where and why. &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SURFING: Hey Timmy, we heard you\\u2019ve been on the road a bit this past season.&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Timmy Reyes:&lt;\\/strong&gt; Yeah, I\\u2019ve seriously been going pretty much nonstop since October of last year. I finally just surfed my first south swell down in Baja this past weekend, but before that, every swell I\\u2019ve been chasing has been one of those Northern Hemi west ones. Besides the ones in the Atlantic\\u2026&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Since October? Jeez. OK, so tell me, roughly, what your winter El Ni\\u00f1o itinerary looked like.&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nBasically, El Ni\\u00f1o brought me around the world four or five times since October. I guess I started off in Hawaii, then after Hawaii went to Iceland. I caught the biggest swell in 25 years to hit Iceland, then came home and surfed the biggest Southside Seal I\\u2019ve ever seen. I caught some crazy ones there, and by myself. &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Then I went up to the Pacific Northwest and surfed some of the best waves I\\u2019ve ever seen up there. Then went back to Hawaii again to surf Peahi where I saw \\u2014 but didn\\u2019t really surf \\u2014 the biggest waves I\\u2019ve ever witnessed. That was my first session back on a 9-foot-plus board.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Then I went back to Iceland [laughs]. Then I came home and went back up to PNW. Oh, I actually did a September trip to Canada before all this too. Then I did a trip to New England and scored. Then I came back to California and surfed Sandspit\\u2026and scored. I didn\\u2019t even go to Baja this year once for any winter swells.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-667x445.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"timmy reyes nick liotta2010\\\" width=\\\"667\\\" height=\\\"445\\\" class=\\\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-142370\\\" srcset=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-667x445.jpg 667w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-313x209.jpg 313w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010.jpg 1000w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-135x90.jpg 135w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-100x67.jpg 100w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-200x133.jpg 200w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-150x100.jpg 150w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-180x120.jpg 180w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-600x400.jpg 600w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-160x107.jpg 160w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-320x213.jpg 320w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-480x320.jpg 480w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-640x427.jpg 640w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-660x440.jpg 660w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-970x647.jpg 970w, http:\\/\\/www.surfingmagazine.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2016\\/05\\/timmy-reyes-nick-liotta2010-990x660.jpg 990w\\\" sizes=\\\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\\\" \\/&gt;Photo: Nick Liotta &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Holy shit, man. You get around! How do know when to pull the trigger on a place like\\u2026Iceland?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nI really follow weather and geek out on Google Earth or weather reports, so I noticed some things that were happening in the Northern Atlantic, and of course the Pacific early on. I could see that it was gonna be a great winter. So I literally put in hours and hours learning how to read weather reports and basically my mission this winter was to surf all those unusual waves that don\\u2019t normally break. More than scoring the really big, huge stuff, I was searching for that perfect wave.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You\\u2019re obsessed.&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n[laughs] There were just so many good waves all the time happening this year that it was impossible to focus on everyday life. I\\u2019m behind on everything. I can\\u2019t even tell you how tired I am at the moment from all those days on the road.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you travel so much that when you come home to HB, you\\u2019re not even a local anymore?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nHonestly, more than Huntington Beach, I consider the entire West Coast my home \\u2014 from Baja up to Canada. I pretty much know every nook and cranny from Cabo to BC. I\\u2019ve made so many friends on this coast over the years and put in so much time traveling all over it that so many of the zones feel like home. But the hours that I\\u2019ve logged since October have been a personal record. Even just the hours alone driving have been remarkable. I\\u2019ve also never felt so surfed out.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By the numbers:&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n10,000 miles in a car&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n24,000 miles in an airplane&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n2 ferry rides&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n10 boat rides&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n$5,000 in gas&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n4 countries&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n3 continents&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n14 weeks on the road&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n2 beers every night after a surf-day (you do the math for the season)&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nOnly 1 swell missed&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n1 angry girlfriend that says, \\u201cI hate El Ni\\u00f1o.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
