Tim Gilberg

We loaded the mini van and continued on to our next surf spot, it was only 2 miles south of the first fiasco at Los Palmas. The new destination was called San Pedrito once again after we saw the sign stating RV park we pulled along another dirt road and headed west about 2 miles.








Here is a photo of the rental minivan it looked like a showroom model yesterday, note the dirt starting to accumulate after less than 24 hours in Baja. There were Palapas and a series of Cabanas past the main entry Gateway

We pulled up to the beach with nervous anticipation; we heard waves breaking before we spotted them, which is always a good sign. As we crested the sand we viewed what we had been hoping for, clean glassy emerald green surf in the 6-8 foot range.

There was probably a total elapsed time of 2 minutes as I snatched my board and ran to the water. As I dove in the surf and gild on top of my board the water was an enjoyable 76-degrees, no wetsuit needed.

There were about 25-30 total surfers in the lineup, which may sound crowded especially being on the southern tip of Baja Mexico, but this was a premier surf spot and there was more than enough room to accommodate all of the surfers.

Ron and I snatched victory from the jaws of defeat at this awesome right point break.
