Sometimes fear just means that you need to push your shins into the front of your ski boots and fuckin send it!

Excellent footage. It makes me hope I can get out early tomorrow to hit the Trestles area, which should be firing. Nice work and keep it coming.
How cold was the water? I am still wearing a long sleeve spring 2/2 in OC, but I can understand people wearing a bit more. Last year I was trunking in in the beginning of November."Have you ever seen a monk get wildly fucked by a bunch of teenage girls?" "No" "Then forget the monastery."

Baja can be colder than socal. I'm not an expert but I believe it has something to do with currents.

South of Point Loma, the current keep the water colder than north of PL. I live in Coronado and the water is Mex cold.
I use to love surfing in Mex, but over the years the local young kids are punks and you can't get away from them without a bout.
Salispuedes is closed to access, as are most of the spots I surfed 20 years ago.
Bums me out, but Mex is off my list unless I fly to Cabo.
And it was a fun morning to surf in North CountyNever in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent.

We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

Yeah, we stopped at Theresa's on the way down and it just felt like I was surfing swami's. Just packed and people had sharp elbows.
But Cuatro Casas was a super chill the whole time even when other people were out. We caught it on the tail end of the weekend and had the place to ourselves. pretty hard to beat.www.DeathCookieEntertainment.com

HotTate, so you felt ok driving down there? We use to stay at Las Gaviota's all the time, but the last time we drove down, two assholes in a F150 flipped us a badge on the Toll Road and told us to pull over. I told them I would stop at the next Toll Station but not there for them, so they took off. Likely were going to rob the gringos.
Then, out to dinner at the Lobster Camp, it was like if someone wants to kidnap a gringo, we are it. Ya, it sucks, but I just do not feel comfortable down there anymore and all my surf spots are walled off for development.

Nice! Headed down in a week and this place was already on the list of spots to hit. Also came here to post whether I'd need booties or not and this answered that question for me.

I should post the whole wave. My buddy isn't even visible at the beginning and the wave was so long and ended in with the high five. Originally Posted by Xover

Maybe time to consider driving at night in Baja, since nobody does. Bet that decreases the chances of being robbed. Originally Posted by liv2ski

I camped and surfed there close to 20 years ago. Fun trip, but the waves kind of soft, no? Don't get me wrong, it was fun and no one really out, but far in quality from a salispuedes.
I'm in the liv2ski camp. Add that I'm driving from CenCal, but some of the higher quality spots are either closed or as croweded as SoCal. hese days Im more likely to head north of SF to score quiet.
Nice vid. Great spot to camp.
