Isla Todos Santos
I'm feelin guilty of hijackin a post to discuss a big American wave, The Wedge.
This is a Baja board and Baja has big waves. Does anyone have pictures of Isla Todos Santos on this recent swell?
Lets hear your stories and see your pics of this or any other big waves in Baja. Don't post any real specific information as it tends to upset some
Nomads.
No worries

Nice pics. Did you actually hike an hour and half to that right point break? Did you paddle out at Carmen?
No worries
