|  | Last week of my surf safari...
Home of world-class "Trestles". Landmark to the longboard spot "Oldmans" are the famous "nuclear tits" - round boob-shaped domes with a single light on top of each dome which is San O's nuclear power plant.
San O also is the perfect spot to meet friendly surfers. I've been in cali for a month and It was here that i met the most wonderful family of longboarders from Encinitas. The BBQ chicken and sausages were just perfect. Tortilla chips and guacamole on the table. Only thing missing is a bottle of Tequila; drinking on the beach is illegal. Smoking too is prohibited.
No sharks sighted thank God :)
Instead, we saw a lonely seal swimming near the shore..
Had some steady surf sessions with them lot.
Kerek invited me over to their homebreak at Cardiff to point out to me Rob Machiado's beachfront surf shack.
Saw the famous "restaurant tour" ;p
Well, good things do come to an end ..... FOR NOW !!! :)
What remains are the memories of Cali sunset sessions and the friendship with people who share the same passion and endless stoked vibes as you do.

| | My favourite spot in Mexico..
Don't mind the dolphins, they won't drop-in :)
They just swim and play around next to you...
kinda eerie surfing out there though...
paddling out can be a bit difficult but once you're out there, u don't wana go back in..
$11 to park for the day coz it's a camping ground |
| | Ensenada is approximately 30 mins from Puerto Nuevo. A beautiful fishing port and cruise stop with untouched surf spots along the way...
Delicious seafood by the pier and lots of cheap shopping stalls in the center...
On the way i found a surf spot with only one surfer so i decided to share waves with him...

| | ".. take me down to Mexico, Rosarito, Baja, California... "
5 days of mexico surfing and 4 nights of summer break tequila sessions..
Drove to Rosarito from SD.
Stayed at Newport Beach Hotel for $50/night...
Delicious lobster for $15 @ Puerto Nuevo..
Local Mexican Tequila is a lot better than Jose Cuervo...
Word of advice: Travel alone or with a buddy especially if its spring break..
Stoked days.. Gone Wild in Rosarito evenings..
