baja in november

bajarasta - 10-2-2006 at 01:46 PM

hey folks,
our group is going down for the whole month of november. surf-exploration at its finest. we are a bunch of surf crazed rastafarians from nor-cal. we hope to catch up with a few of you nomads and share a brew or two around the fire. if anyone else is around and doesnt want to travel alone feel free to hang with us. there are rules though,
no drugs, no attitudes, and you must have a major talent for throwing up the shaka sign whenever something good happens. if the surf is flat we will be practicing phillipino kali-escrima and brazillian jiu jitsu, and exploring cultural sites.
i encourage any one who bumps into us to feel free to hang for a while.going all the way to todos santos(sur) then working our way back.
ill keep updating the post and will have the whole trip report for everyone when we get back.
one love

Welcome to Nomad... Many cultural sites in Baja worthy of exploring!

One strange site is near the 7 Sisters: http://vivabaja.com/et

Looking forward to your reports!

Irie Ites. I think Bernie will probably want to go.

What if...

bigzaggin - 10-2-2006 at 03:59 PM

you are not into drugs and throw a decent shaka but absolutely detest reggae music in every form? Can we still hang?

miguel_amarillo - 10-2-2006 at 04:09 PM

I tend to throw a mean shaka whenever anything happens, period. Do my shaka tosses have to coordinate with good things or is it cool if I shaka all day, no matter what the deal is?

what??!!..........no splivs mon?? darn........:spingrin:

bajarasta - 10-2-2006 at 08:42 PM

the splivs are on you'all cause we dont consider them drugs just medicine and meditations, but we dont take them to mex, as a few in our group have already been to jail for that very thing there. and that can be quite $$$expensive$$. so we spend the month cleaning out our lungs, and fasting from the herb!! can you believe it!
so we have a few XX's to help us bed down at night. but if it smells good, and we are in the middle of nowhere, of course" pass it to me my friend"
but as far as herbs are concerned, its up to you!, but we dont carry.
wierd cause alot of the san diego crew will carry down there. its just not our thing!
one love

bajarasta, the Baja 1000 race from Ensenada to La Paz starts Thursday Nov 16th. Prerunning starts Oct 14th and continues till the race. There will be about 400 motorcycles, ATVs, cars and trucks. Be careful especially during the race. I suggest your group not be on the course during the race. Otherwise have a great trip.

Our group will be driving down for the 3rd week of November (18-25th). I'll be sure to master some dancehall tapes to MP3 before leaving the house. Maybe we'll see you out there.

yes we hope to see you'all, but if not safetravels to you'all. we will be wherever the swell is. if its out of the north , we will be north 2 south of todos santos, or 7 sisters, and if a good south comes in well, abres or scorps area.
and we not only will be praying for waves for us but everyone else too! irie!

Our group will stay mainly on the Sea of Cortez/LA Bay/San Felipe region. There won't be any surfing action, but if you happen to see our group of 4WDs & Jeeps, be sure to say, "Hi!"

bajarasta - 10-16-2006 at 12:54 AM

It has definitely been a long time. So much has happened in 1 year that I believe I have enough material to write a book. My 4WD group is going back in Baja in November, and we are bigger than ever. Our numbers speak volumes of the name "Baja Grande." I will love to see your photos of your surfing adventure in Baja Sur!!:bounce:

Bruce,
Are you in Mulege or Ensenada? I haven't seen your posts in awhile.

Gadget - 10-28-2007 at 03:48 PM

Hey Bajarasta,
Just back from a month in BCS. 2 weeks in Todos Santos. Cerritos will be your best bet untill a major N or NW swell hits the points. The sand was just starting to move at La Pastora and there is tons of it to go before it will be un-gagged IMHO. San Pedrito ( actually it's real name is Playa Estero ) which it has turned back into, is more or less the same shape. Don't miss out on the Asuncion deal as I think that will pick up most swell directions. Got to clear with Shari and Juan though to get the scoop on the secret spot. They are a hoot and a visit not to be missed and you would want to get the nod so the locs don't pick ya clean :) Juan Carlos told me that the water actually starts to get warmer through like April which seems strange. Water temps at the begining of the month were more or less like here in SD. Got to be cool or she won't give you directions so be on your, well... most fun loving behavior.
Happy trails and safe driving, tons of Ganado in BCS so no driving at night.
