ONE MONTH BAJA TRIP : A Surf Travel Adventure

[@kevinranker6879]

Thank you so very much for not disclosing spots! Baja is not a place, but a state of mind… which you’ve figured out. -wookie

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Baja is where I got hooked on surf travel 25 years ago and it continues to be one of my favorite places to explore. 🤙

[@zannaahern6689]

Gorgeous filming. Fun to see Matt surfing! And how exciting to touch a whale !! Happy for you two making this happen for yourselves!!

[@daveallen2455]

This video is AMAZING !!!!!!! The surf,the food,the scenery, and to top it off, touching that whale !!!!!! You two are blessed to have such a trip !!!!

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

An excellent Baja trip for sure. Glad you enjoyed it

[@soulsurfer639]

I did a baja road trip with my high school sweet heart 25 years ago. I'm happy to see there are still plenty of areas that are unspoiled by development. Great video :)

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Nice First time I surfed in Baja was around 25 years ago too. It's more developed than it used to be (of course) but if you make an effort and take a chance you can still find yourself alone on a beautiful beach🤙

[@afrohotrod]

You're living the dream!😁🤙

[@brendonmasters]

The amount of work that has gone into this channel is incredible. I'm a huge fan of you guys, and constantly gaining inspiration from you two

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Thanks Brendon

Great ending & mello tunes🤙video captures the off beaten path vibe w/o announcing each spot thank you

[@scottmcwave9479]

You guys scored! Waves and whales! Thanks for taking us along!

Thanks Thomas. Glad you re-found us😁

[@haydennoble8318]

Good job keeping all the spots secret ;) I’m planning a trip for a month here soon and am happy y’all failed to mention the name of each wave. Stoked to explore the spots I’ve been quietly exposed to for my first Baja trip

The adventure and exploration is what makes a Baja surf trip so special. Have fun!

[@SenorPescadorJohnson]

nice, drove down the length in 1986, 3 days at Salsipudes first Playa San Miguel, then 5 days down to Pescadero, stayed in a cabin for 2 1/2 months of some hommies from Santa Cruz, great solo time and weekends girls from all over camping at San Jose del Cabo, i was 70 clics North, then took very last ferry from Cabo to Puerto Vallarta, 30 hrs? on board was the CLASSIC Carl Franz

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Very Cool! Sounds like a great adventure

[@stephenfrancis303]

That first spot wow!

[@adampappas8738]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for not giving up the name of the spots. Too many newbies who post don’t understand surf etiquette.

[@markbrown2885]

Wow, looks like you scored really good empty waves the entire peninsula...thanks for sharing your adventure and not name dropping one single spot 😉

[@ChrisTovahsAmazingAdventures]

WOW, Mat this is an epic surf video. Amy and the pups we always love seeing you as well.

[@grahames9228]

Quality waves with no one else around, now that is living.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

That's what it's all about for me😁

[@HogTide_Rising]

Epic surfing footage. I’ve never surfed in my life, not many swells on the Canadian prairies, but I can appreciate skill and ability. I can see from this earlier video why you chose the Pacific side of Baja to build your home. Really glad that your channel turned up on my feed and, of course, I did subscribe.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Thanks. And welcome aboard

I just stumbled upon this video. I felt like I was traveling with you. In my younger days my buddies and I would pack up the 4x4 and just travel the Baja coast surfing and camping. I miss those days. Great video.

[@derensd]

Baja is magical, awesome trip!! I've think i've surfed 2 of those spots you hit!!!!

It's always a good time, but this was definitely one of the best runs of swell I've had down there🤙

[@campovacilando]

[@jeffvw1994]

I remember in the eighties down there paddling out on my longboard with a fishing pole with a scampi. Got outside the surf zone and unhooked the lure and it dropped in the water and a 3 pound sand bass grabbed it before I could even cast it. Some amazing empty places.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

that's a great story Jeff. and those empty places are exactly what keeps me going back

[@coltceverz5498]

OMG the whales 🐋 were awesome. So happy for your adventures

thanks colt

[@worstchannelever5232]

Yeah dude you're a good surfer good waves there :0)

[@bobshultz5421]

In 92’ my soon to be married best buddy and I headed to Cabo for a month. We camped and surfed on the Pacific Side till Friday when we would head to the Dos Mares motel where you got an air conditioned room for $25. We’d clean up and hit the town only to return to camping on Sunday.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Sounds like a good time

[@mredmister3014]

Great style on each section.

[@phillipburmester1146]

Awesome thanks never made a trip down there

[@davidanderson8469]

Great production. I surfed the pt with all the vehicles parked beginning in 1981 in November. El Nino year. Low tide and offshore. Hopefully now with the popularity they built an outhouse.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

That must have been a cool time to be exploring and surfing. They do have outhouses now.

Thanks, Russ Yes, the whales were awesome. Amie has dragged me to many cool places that I would have never gone on my own because it involved non-surfing-activities 😁 she helps me be a more well rounded, healthy, balanced person I'm told (by her) 😉

As one of your very loyal Subs, i must admit , that this Vid was one of my top 10s favourites thus far. Matt, se nota que tu influencias del surf han Sido del Occy. Who shaped that board? It seems to open up for you when it gets a bit more poderosa.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Wow, thanks Dude. Occy has always been one of my favorite surfers. My boards are shaped by Brian A. Tudor on Oahu, Hawaii. I'm really happy with them.

[@MOTOZILIANS]

this is awesome stuff guys. i grew up doing this exact stuff with my pops. cruising desolate baja looking for waves with a camper onhis 2500 sierra. im based in the pnw now exploring for waves with my little tacoma with a pop up camper. gonna try to make a coastal run down to mex as soon as time and money allow. keep it up!

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Thanks Grant. I blame my dad for my surf and travel addictions too 😂 Amie insist it was child abuse when I tell her the stories, but those Baja trips have had a lasting positive impression on me Hope your Mex trip comes together for you soon🤙

Awesome, wish I knew how to surf!

[@ancientoverland5387]

I used to skateboard, been thinking about starting again... but you guys make me want to learn how to surf so bad! Thanks for sharing, you guys are awesome. Im gonna drive the Pan American Highway next year and you are one of the reasons that really helped me make that final decision to actually quit my job and take the leap! I hope to show you vids of me when Im surfing down there someday!

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Wow. Have a great trip. We saw people skating in lots of the bigger cities and surf-beach towns. Could be a fun activity to do and meet people along the way

Nice job! And you can surf! Brought back memories. First trip to tip was with dad in '78 with many more to follow. I'm stoked I didn't recognize a couple of the spots, thank you for not sharing locations. But I DO have one question...where did you get those outrageous tacos from?!!!

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Nice. '78 would have been an adventurous drive down the peninsula. I don't think I made it all the way to Cabo until around '90. That was also with my dad. Lots of good memories and hopefully many more to come. Tacos El Gallo, 3 doors down from Copal/ VP gas station in Vizcaino. It's become one of our favorites. The family that owns it is great and the dad is hilarious. I gotta warn you though, I was a little creative with the timeline in my editing to through any would be surf-detectives off my trail 😉

[@skydivedickson]

Awesome!! We're getting ready to head down for 6 months. What time of year was this trip? We are in a 40' skoolie, did you see many big rigs down there? How bad are the dirt roads out to the surf spots? Thanks

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

6 months, you're bound to have a good time 👍 There are lots of people who drive RVs or tow campers down the peninsula. This has been a common practice for 40 + years and there are many rv parks catering to this style of travel. If you stick to the very frequently traveled dirt roads you will be on graded dirt/ washboard roads and probably fine as long as you stay on the road. I'm sure the bus is comfy when you get to camp, but probably not appropriate for adventuring too far off the beaten path. I assume it is heavy, has massive turning radius, and poor breakover/departure angles compared to a standard 4x4 suv or pickup. Plus, if you get it stuck the average person driving by in a pickup won't be able to pull the bus out. Also, be very aware of the weather forecast if you decide to adventure off pavement. A graded dirt road can quickly turn unpassable if it starts raining or a flash flood comes down from the mountains. That being said... it is your skills and comfort level that really draw the line.

[@russsherratt6919]
