We heard that a north swell was coming, so we headed to Mexico on short notice!

There was a north swell coming in for just one day, so we headed to Mexico at dawn! Driving from the USA to Mexico, this is the border gate. The fence with the lamp is the border fence between Mexico and the United States. As dawn broke, we passed near the Bahama Ridge. Unmanned waves keep appearing! There was no one there and no one surfing, but the waves were amazing. This is the rest stop for today. The waves are a powerful, light reef break with barrels. Today there were only five surfers in the ocean at most. The famous San Miguel. Here we are with Sho & Kei's father, Mexico expert Masaki. At the back of the peak is the mouth of the river, and this is where you can get out. It has more than twice the power of the Trestle and the hollow wave quality means you can ride twice the distance. At the border on the way back, I was subject to a random computer-selected inspection. It took a while to get into the USA.
