Started going to Baja to surf in 1962. In 1975 my brother, some friends and I were surfing the points of the 7 Sisters on a regular basis.

Grover City, CA, when they had a beach. Now it's Grover Beach and they have no beach. They sold it to the State. Now it costs $4.00 to get on the
beach and you don't dare crack open a beer. Sux.
Took a few trips to San Felipe, once as far as Mulege.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

1975 was straddled by two big years in my life. In 1974 I made my first PIC flying trip to Baja (C177RG to Palmilla), which was to be followed by
roughly 100 more Baja trips through 1993. In 1976 I founded my two companies, one a structural design firm, the other a construction firm, both
specializing in post-tensioned concrete building structures. 1975 was a real crossroads year.

Out of college in Oregon and not really working in 1975, a friend came back from Baja with lots of great tales so I packed up my van and girlfriend
and took six weeks in Baja going to Cabo and back. Got pretty used to living out of the van so I went to Colorado (minus girlfriend) and lived out of
the van while skiing.

1975...
1st grade for me, I don't think I knew Mexico even existed, never heard spanish and I had a canadian teacher named Mrs. Seabrooke.
Oh yea, broke my arm that spring on a last day of school field trip,  now my
elbow is starting to itch.
I think I found my 1st playboy magazine in the gutter on the way home. You could knit a sweater with all that wool, WOW.
Thanks for that memory

I was living in the Lower Rio Grand Valley near Brownsville Texas and working for a chemical mfg. (pesticides). It gave me a chance to travel the
eastern and southern part of Mexico.
