Cool pictures my friend I was down in Santa Rosalillita last August with my wife and two girls just for the day because they couldnt take the heat in
BoLA. It was about 30 degrees cooler there thats for sure.
READY SET.....................

Thanks for telling me about your nice little surfing spots. I may have to take that road next time and check out the breaks. Woody's secret spot is
not so secret anymore....

Ryan, I'm stoked for your trip. I've known about those spots for decades and I assume many others do too. If anything, your post serves to deter all
but those hardiest surf traveler.
There has always been an air of secrecy and localism in surfing. Sad to say I used to be a Seaside local (the mellow non vocal kind) and I'm ashamed
of it. I've seen all the hassles and fistfights in the line up and its so sad.
I've even seen hassles in 3' Abre (extreme secret spot) by "local gringo landowners???". I've heard secret spot Scorpions Bay has gotten bad too. No
plans for me to visit that place. They bought it and they can have it. What comes around goes around.
Sorry to see you got hassled online. One thing about line up hassles is there's no where to run to no where to hide. You may have to back up your
words.
I have found that many surfers mature and mellow and learn to share and enjoy. I'm glad That many Mexicans have welcomed me to share their simple,
beautiful land.
I'm confident their will always be an empty beach with great waves and fishing for those willing to get their truck dusty and haul some supplies. I
live for it
No worries

This U2U from cardonhugger was my favorite:
Hey you f888cking kook..... it's the last remote stretch in Baja and your sharing it with the f***king internet WORLD???? Why do you think it was so
unpopulated? Those that have been going there for decades don't blab about such special places. Those names get onto every search engine across the
globe!!!! Delete your David K report or that area won't remain unspoiled very long.......

One last thing - directed mostly at cardonhugger. If you think that the 7 Sisters is the last remote stretch in Baja, you haven't looked far enough or
hard enough.
Here, I will give you a head start - get a boat 28' or less and head to Mag Bay. Launch. Explore. Repeat. Your flippin head will explode.

No kidding... saying that place is unknown is quite a stretch... and why is it okay for him to know and nobody else? Like only he can protect it?
Well, big news flash Cardon: The Mexicans are building a graded highway north from Santa Rosalillita along your 'secret' coast... and it reached Punta
Blanco in 2007! I trust viewers of Baja Nomad over people in 2WD cars from cities who NOW can access that coast... Direct your anger where it will do
the most good, I say.

Beautiful stretch of coast. I've done it twice going out to Catarina Landing from Guayaquil and working my way south to Rosilillita. Both trips solo
with an S-10 Blazer. I think you can give directions for this area to everyone you meet and maybe 1 out of a 100 will actually go out there. Last
time I did the trip I took 3 days and didn't see another person in the northern 2/3's. I haven't motorcycled it yet because I haven't found anyone
who will do it with me, I have enough range on my bike to do the trip and I didn't see anything that the bike wouldn't handle except the moon dust
near Bahia Blanca but I think I could get around that.

I've driven the coast from Punta Canoas to Santa Rosalillita probable ten times at least, and walked most of it. Its hardly a secret. More than once
I've had to find an alternate camping spot because someone was already set up where I was planning to stay. I'll be camping down there again next
month. Yes, its a great stretch of pristine coastline, but hardly undiscovered.

Yo Ryan,
Cool report. I know X-actly each and every spot you mentioned. Glad you had an X-citing time! Sorry I missed seeing your pictures before you removed
them. Try not to let the online "vibe-bro-matics" get you down. I got the same lame-a$$ flame a few years ago when I posted about the area.
Oh, and welcome to Nomads.

It is a remote area, no supplies, foggy and cold much of the time... It appeals only to very few... no surfer need worry about photos or trip reports
on Nomad causing the ruin of one's ideal beach break.
I was clear in my 2007 trip report that Baja Angel nor I have any desire to return to the wet and windy west! Give us heat, warm water, and a sandy
beach anyday over the Seven Sisters!

On a m/c you can hug the coast at Blanca and even run the beach at lower tide. The dust bowls are definitely avoidable. There are tons of guys on day
trips on motorcycles in that area. The moondust was the scariest thing for me in 2wd. But, just put the pedal down and don't let up until on the other
side! Also, I was aired down to about 22 to 24 psi on 33" tires.

......and where else can you find named fotos of the spots???? i'm just saying, if you're a surfer you should understand that aspect of it. maps
abound but nowhere can you find pictures.... it's like leaving crumbs for the next crew.....
i'm not trying to claim any spot(s) at all. in fact, i've met a couple guys from here out on the road(s), so it shows that we don't all hate each
other. i even get an earful at times for posting fotos that are very well cropped so as to not i.d. the spot. maybe i'm responsible for our friend
ryan following my crumb trail....
it all boils down to leaving something to the imagination. i'm glad you had a good time. reports are cool too. just don't name the spots in
fotos.........

Sure Woody, I understand you alright... It is Cardon Hugger's mean u2u to this new Nomad that was out of line, IMO.
A couple of names Ryan gave to the points. etc. didn't appear on the maps most of us use (Baja Almanac, AAA), so what good does it do a 'stranger' to
the Sisters if he doesn't know where to drive to get to Punta X?
Now, that book that Cardon Hugger doesn't seem to remember: 'The Surfer's Guide to Baja' by Mike Parise c2001 has the area well covered, but again
that one point Ryan had a couple photos of... isn't in the guide book.
So, who cares what name Ryan called that point... It means nothing unless the maps and books would be surfers have it listed. No ned to be nasty to
Ryan.
Cheers!

I've got a KLR 650, a little heavy for real dirt riding but it works well on two track Baja roads. I've got good upgraded suspension and the 7 gallon
fuel tank as used on the military version of the bike. At age 65 my riding is a bit slower than the young guys on real dirt bikes but I keep meeting
up with them in out of the way places. Just takes me a little longer to get there! Early fall would be a great time for me to go there again. I
live in San Luis Obispo County and ride the bike from here instead of hauling it.

As long time lurker to this fabulous forum, I am proud to now twice have had a PRIVATE, PERSONAL message to another posted for all to see. First it
was most everyones hero David K a while back and now Ryan.
Kinda a breach of trust regarding a personal communication??? Do I see a pattern here? Was it something I said? O well, at least Ryan didn't include
a panorama of his face(s) in his photo "sharing".......

May I make a suggestion--if it irks you to see the Sisters being reported on I think the best thing to do is to not say anything at all and let these
threads die a quick death.....and I realize THIS post is bumping it back up in the queue, but next time..........
