How many surfers on this board?
I don't think disclosing breaks is a big deal here since they're all known.
I can see La Pastora from my land and with binocs, the surfers. Guess that'll be my home break. First time I surfed there, I came away thinking I
was going to buy a helmet. (Pastora is an expert break and injuries will happen if you don't know what you're doing!)
Otherwise, San Pedrito is fun and I've had some gnarly hold down's there. Then there's the rip....
Even love Old Man's (Aquapulquitos). And enjoy the crowds. I know that's weird.

Surfers on the board (no pun intended!)...
There's lots of us here! I spent all of 2004 living @ San Pedrito myself, and I love Pastora, but it's hard to justify driving all the way up to town
and through the Otro Ladro to get there when I could surf right in front of the house.
Are you Lee the Author? No last names needed, just curious!

Pastora!
such a fun wave! I led a group of guys down there last year - 6 of my close friends from Brasil - we had so much fun! It was head high to a few feet
overhead, fun, clean barrels, and the locals were some of the nicest, most considerate, welcoming people I have ever met in Baja. Even the older
guys. Seriously, it was almost EERIE how nice they were (and some say the local ex-pats are nasty...I didn't see it). I have a few secrets down that
way (don't we all!) but I'm always quick to point travellers towards Pastora for a clean tube and a big smile.
Say hi to the place for me! I'll be back in Jan (my wife teaches ESL in Japan and we are bringing down 10 kids from the beaches outside Tokyo).

The name is not Berndog. You are great at the selective quotes--is that a ******* problem with you or can it be corrected?
Cameron-- always has been a lot of surfers in Baja and on this board. That is one of the reasons we invited Mike Parise to our last two Baja Authors
book signing at the Pyrimad Resort.
Not being a surfer that is where I first heard about udder balm.

Yo, Bro --
Sure I've seen you in the lineup. Stayed at Cyril's in Pescadero Winter of '04-'05. Not sure what author you mean. I am an unpublished author
working on a book.
Where do you stay Cameron? Do you know Bob Costa? Tomas? Gary? The Crew?
Saturday a.m., everyone out, sunny, friendly, warm, big.
See you in the water.

Yeah I've seen nasty or uptight ex-pats but think they're more territorial than the locals. Just know the Rules and it helps to know how to surf.
Like I said, Pastora is NOT for beginners. I've seen it gnarly there.
My experience of surfing down that way is that it's mellow and everyone is happy and stoked.
See you in January. I'll be there. Look for Colorado license plates.

Thought Berndog sounded like a term of endearment. What's the word in Spanish for nickname? Anyway, I like it but if Bernie doesn't like it, then
we can't use it.

Did you happen to know a guy named JR he lived there and surfed in front of his home as well as along the entire coast.

Apodo. Mine is related, at least phonetically, to my real name, but I've certainly been called worse, and there have been some I didn't appreciate.
Bernie,
I really don't think "the new kid" meant disrespect, but it's your call as to how you wish to be addressed. At least away from off-topic.

Not as much as I used to
In my younger years (I'm 39) I never thought about it as excercise and my buddies and I would spend all day around K38. Now, on my longboard when
there's a swell, my arms turn in to limp noodles just getting past the breakers. I still love the ocean and my daughter (9) digs surfing. We're close
to the beach in Carlsbad. We spend more time underwater on the Cortez side of the penninsula on our Baja trips.

I agree. but....The young will alway find something to waste their time on. I think surfing is a better way to waste time.
At least compared to Video games. I did waste many years racing nascar. I think surfing is better exercise, But fishing is the Bomb......

Yes! Udder balm
Originally con-c-cked for the cows so their udders would not crack and bleed--made them soft and supple--or that is what I have been told by some old
surfers.
