Surf N Turf Moto Ride
Last week Baja Bound Insurance sponsored a great trip south with Cameron Steele and the Desert Assassins crew on a moto ride called the Surf N Turf.
The object: Ride motos, do some surfing and just plain relax and enjoy Baja. Along for the trip were former world champion surfer Sunny Garcia and
four time world champion mountain biker Brian Lopes. Here are some photos from day one of the four day adventure:
We crossed the border at around 6:30AM and made our way south to San Quintin for lunch.
A few miles south of town the crew unloaded and got ready to ride. Sunny prepping his bike...

Day three our goal was to surf, ride motos, surf again and ride motos again. The surf was small but perfect for giving lessons, so Sunny took Jesse
Jones (AZ), Brendan Fikes (TX) and Mac Marmon (AZ) out for a surf.

Brendan and Jesse about to paddle out for their first time...

Day four we left SoloSports and headed north for San Quintin.
Kevin Trejo of SoloSports...
Sam...the SoloSports camp gato...
Group shot with the Solo Sports crew before leaving...
More iconic Baja imagery...
Cameron launching out of a wash...
Mike Bandfield playing in the dunes in San Quintin...
If you fall in the sand you get roosted. Don't fall in the sand!!!
Andy Bonin drawing lines in the sand...
Jardines in San Quintin...a very appropriate name...
The awards for the ride: Best Surf Performance, Live Like Ox award, Burro de Oro, Best Moto Performance.
Ride medic Dan Dodds got the impromptu "Bad Fairy" award for his outrageous costume on the second night.
Brian Lopes presents Jesse Jones with the Best Moto Performance award. He has only been riding dirt bikes for 7 months and rode really well!
Sunny presents Brendan Fikes with the Best Surf Performance for his uncanny surf skills as a beginner.
Cameron presents Fred Sobke with the Burro de Oro (Golden Donkey) award for most shenanigans on the trail. The vote was unanimous after Fred
accidentally launched his bike 8 feet in the air out of a wash and it landed on Cameron's dirt bike!
Me presenting Mac Marmon with the Live Like Ox award. Mac showed poise beyond his years, rode amazing, got stoked on surfing and was always helping
out on the trail.
Lots of smiles...
¡Viva Baja!
