Truth be told I’ve never seen it that hollow… On low tide the coral heads show, so must have been one epic confluence of events. Then again, it may just be the difference between a pro’s ability to find a tube and my own.

I remember when – snarfle oink wheeze – wheeze was the bullet over my head sitting way outside ALONE at the Rancho. Inadvertently, the first bullet of this War. Soon after, Colosio was assassinated. Not too long before they got my sniper in TJ thanks to a Vespa and an Uzi it said in the paper. I sat with the commander of the PJF of both Michoacan and Guerrero in the back of one of the trucks back to Mex 200. He was in green looking like a common soldier, the only one with a rifle. He was known to raid the surf camp at Nexpa in a helicopter and plop down at the Saladita from time to time. Hack-cough-wheeze. That was a wheeze, I hope…

I know where that is too! Surfed it in 2002. Great wave. You have to be a pretty dedicated traveler to get there though. Maybe not as consistent as we would all like it to be.
