Surfing is one the best known activities of Baja California and we have many
wonderful breaks here in Baja Sur.
Whether you are here in the winter looking for warmer water surf or are here
for the classic summer swells that come to Los Cabos during the hurricane
season you can just about always find surf.
Here are a few shots of “Old Man’s” at Costa Azul from last week on the
first of the month. This is a well known area to surf with breaks at “old
Mans”, “the Rock” and “Zippers” all created by the same point.

You can rent boards and get instruction here at Costa Azul and
it is conveniently located on the highway in the corridor between Cabo and
San Jose del Cabo. (see map).
While LosCabosInsider.com will continue to bring you information on the great
surfing we must respect those surfers and the breaks that can only be found
by exploring Baja on your own.
In
other words we may discuss a surf break without disclosing where it is
exactly located. We don’t want to take away from your adventure and more
importantly we don’t want to piss off the locals.
Speaking of that, who are the locals? The Mexicans who have lived here
forever who have just recently learned to surf? Any Mexican, from any part
of the world? The foreigners who came down here years ago in search of
waves?
The
person who surfs there the most, in any given time (the season or the year
(s))? See what I’m getting at? I have surfed for many years all around the
world, beginning in Southern California home of the “locals” attitude. My
feeling is that you are a local when you were born on this planet. You may
still be a “Barney” (beginner nerd) but basically folks this is your planet
enjoy it and to hell with all those that think they own it because they
pissed there more, or later than the rest. Leave that to the dogs and go
surf.

Men walk on the outside
There are still many customs observed by the Mexican culture that if you are
interested in knowing the local senoritas you may want to be aware of. When
walking on the (paseo) sidewalk the man should walk on the outside towards
the street. This doesn’t only protect her but it tells others that she is not
available.
Men do open doors
Yes, the senoritas expect you to open the car door and any other door and even
lay down your life if necessary.
Men have a dress code
Caballeros where covered shoes at night and shorts on only casual occasions
or when it is very hot.
