How Surfers Protect Their Special Places?
If they told you how then it wouldn't be a secret. I think it would be better to let everyone know as in MAVERICS at half Moon Bay.

Awwwww damn!
All the old farts have worn-out the water. The waves just cannot get-it-up any more. Like someone driving 500 miles to ski in paradise only to find a
single ski track already there going down the slope that cut virgin snow.

you ARE wrong. i personally know of at least 10 spots you have no clue exist-and i'm just one guy. sure, there were guys before me and there will be
guys after me, but i guarantee you will never know these 10 secrets. ENTIENDE?

Woody, All the secret have been discovered, there are no secret spots. Ask me over a campfire I'll give no special beta. All the good spots are
gone.

I would agree that there are no secret spots (in Baja) that haven't been discovered. Every inch has been scoped out, but there are places less
crowded!!!

It's not just the secret surf spots that are disappearing. Baja is disappearing.
We're witnessing an occurence very similar to the late 19th century north american plains. In 20-30 years the buffalo were all gone and the indian
nations were on reservations. And a way of life was forever gone, never to be seen again. Those who were present, like us, were fortunate to have seen
it all before the change.

Ok...I vote Skipjack Joe the oldest guy on the board! But I'd like to know who the 'like us' are that were present also for the late 19th century?

Sorry for the confusion.
60 years ago Krutch wrote that baja has remained pretty much unchanged since the first conquistadores came. We were lucky enough to see it in that
form.
In that way we are like those who saw the west before it was 'tamed'.
