Quit whining! I thought surfers were adventurers? Perhaps you should try a new sport: paragliding! Baja has excellent flying opportunities…and you dont get wet (o;… And in between flying windows…well the breaks are still there!!! As for drug wars, hogwash flu, etc. do you really believe the US media propoganda? For the real scoop see

And they call it an “inheritance from development” what an vile form of progress. Developers and investors take any route to make a buck, “Mow an Go” tactics, buying officials and even having their own environmental organizations. I do remember those glassy peaks at San Miguel, no mucho “caca” in the water then, just nice folks enjoying a place that wasn’t wrecked by over-populating.
So test your immune system surf the West coast. Mmmmm those lobsters sure are sweet!

How ironic that the sidebar ads for this story include listings for condos in N. Baja!

I choose to surf Northern Baja breaks regularly. As do many of my friends. We stay away from areas that are regularly polluted and find many more clean spots that are now not nearly as crowded as they once were. It is kinda like Surfers Paradise.. The last south swell produced double overhead waves at Calafia. Contrary to your article there were 10 guys out and 8 of them were Gringos.. Better than the days of when there would 20 guys when big South swells pumped in..

Maybe when Serge was down last there was no swell..

what an amateur hack job.

I grew up surfing Northern Baja and it is a shame to see the pollution plus lack of access ruin the experience for everyone. This has an impact on the economy since surfers were mainstays of tourism in the region. On my last trip a couple of weeks ago, the coast was empty-as in ghost town empty.
