Don Jorge,Great camp, and spending time with your family is always priceless.
I sure hope that the on coming changes are slow and you get to get a few more trips there alone. It is becoming harder to to find those places.

i agree with what MMc had to say.
the reason-i think- certain corwded so cal spotswere mentioned is tio illustrate what we DON"T want to see in baja, especially at the more remote spots that some of us here have spent years of making wrong turns, building roads where none existed, mechanical breakdowns,etc, to get to an enjoy.( many of these one time uncrowded spots have become very crowded) why in the hell would i want to expose a nice, uncrowded spot to a whole bunch of people i don't know? my friends and i go there to get away from the crowds and chaos of daily life. now, if somebody has gone through all the trouble on there own to get "out there" and roll up to camp and are respectful, all is cool. make a bunch of noise, leave trash laying around, tear up the envirnment,etc. you will be "asked" to leave.

I am amazed that people believe that Baja won't get crowed haven't been to some of the major points during a swell. Go to oladulce's place during a big south and see 30, 40 camps. Yes, most of us will get along and share waves. We get question's here about that road 2 or 3 times per year. Places less than 15 hours get packed on swells. With Surf forecasting, the days of siting and praying for surf are mostly gone.

Some of us just don't believe in it should be as easy as some like to make it. If you aren't prepared to take on the adventure should you do it? We all understand that where are no secrets. The most valued things and memories I have are the things I worked hardest for.

I guess that if I promoted a spot and it gets to crowed then maybe I should go surf the lesser wave on the other side. Some of us are not willing to promote a spot that we love in the hope of it staying the same for a bit longer. We know it won't last, but we can hope. MMc

Pedrito Beach and South sounded like cannon fire overnight. Earth shaking waves. It was double overhead this a.m. Lots of people and surfers watching, and, from at least a couple qualified surfers, not wanting to get pounded. Couple few longerboarders out with respectable showings.

Sorry I didn't have my cam.

Ate fish tacos on the pier in Ventura on Friday afternoon. The Point was ON FIRE. The tide was starting to drop, and the inside sections were working cherrily along. 11 guys out. HUH??? Looked like the old days. No need to go to Baja that day to get some by yourself. ;D
