Dawn patrol, fish tacos, repeat until your paddling improves. A GoSmart specialist tailors the route, the stays, and the pace to you.
Why it works
You wax the board in the grey half-light, paddle out before the wind is up, and sit alone on the shoulder as the first set stacks up down the point. Depending on the season you might be in board shorts or a light wetsuit, the only sound is the pelicans, and then the wave is under you.
Worth knowing
There is a wave for every level, from mellow beach breaks for learning to fast points that reward experience. Be honest about where you are and pick your spot accordingly, since some breaks are unforgiving over rock and reef.
Bring cash for the small towns, and if you are driving your own car down, buy Mexican auto insurance before you cross, since a US policy will not cover you south of the border.
Board rentals and dings happen, so a travel-friendly funboard or a fish rents easily near the main camps if you would rather not fly with your quiver.
About the place
Baja California is the long finger of Mexico south of San Diego, with Pacific swells hitting a coastline of desert headlands and fishing villages. Fish tacos, cold beer, and empty right-hand points are the daily currency here.
