And the locals from K58?? Club Marena sits on the old bluff and parking lot where many of us broke into surfing in Baja! Brrrrrrr!! The old Tecate
can is still there in Campo Martha!! Right Bornfisher?! Difficult entry to
the waves anymore. Nice Rainbows. Tio

Yep tiotomasbcs,
As I sat there I tried to imagine what this bluff must've been like to camp on before the condos. I had driven by before the condos, but never surfed
it or even stopped to look at it. Wish I would've.

anyone remember Gus Cota? Gus was an OG Sunset Cliffs guy who headed south and built a house near the road, on the old K-38 campgrounds. Gus wasn't
the caretaker, but more of the guy everyone wanted to emulate. long story short, and now you see progress.
anyone remember driving onto the beach at Calafia? on the outside (Mushrooms) before the current condo towers grew out of the sand?
THESE WERE THE DAYS.... 1985-ish
edit: better resized foto.

I'll give a second sh*t Woody. Bust them out.
I camped on that bluff around '88 I think going down to Rosarito when it was just Papas and Beer and a few local bars for spring break. I was a
sponger in the water and with the beer. Man where'd the last 20 years go.

Bust them out Woody. Thanks for the pic above. My Baja surfing history goes back to 1993 unless you count boogie boarding at Estero Beach in '83. I
may have limited baja surf experience compared to you veterans, but I'm really stoked to see and learn more stuff about the good old days. Post
it!!!!

Must've been really cool to drive onto the beach at Calafia in 1985!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I was older and could've experienced that.........I've still
never even surfed Calafia. I heard it was really good 2 months ago during that huge SW swell.

oh, THAT swell! yeah it was off the hook. we were part of the food chain, not just the apex predator. we named
it Pterodactyls. it is prehistoric!

I never was much of a surfer..more of a rock finder...probably because I attempted it too late in life, but I give a sheet, too..always have enjoyed
your surf photos!
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Scored. Yeah, not a good place to have a heart attack in. You'd be dead. That cliff looks a little familiar. I may have driven by that cliff last
winter.

Glad there's enough interest in a little Baja Surf History! In 67 and 68 I attended Cal Western University on Point Loma, San Diego. It was hard to
get us off the Sunset Cliffs to Baja because it was an epic surf season!
When we did destinations into Baja they included K58 and San Miguel; sometimes into the Unknown where Cuatros Casas was the ultimate in
exploration. I remember a few swells where we were just so surfed out we
couldn't surf anymore; returning from Baja once we pulled off onto Basilone Rd. and saw 10ft+ lines peeling into Trestles . Just outside sat a Navy
Destroyer to keep an eye on the Western Whitehouse of Tricky Dick! Very few
photos but the memories are still very clear unlike some of the sixties , ha, ha! Glad it's still happening. Sale. Tio
