Board Choice 
Our Baja Home is located on a break that could break like a mellow Tourmaline from small to medium size and then break like San Onofre at size. Your board choice is essentially up to you. Have a look at the forecast a couple of days out to make your decision. I can help.

Wetsuits 
The water is generally cooler in Northern Baja than in Southern California. Everyone is different so if you run cold bring the 5/4 wetsuit. Two wetsuits would be ideal. We may have two sessions in one day. If you have space, bring booties, a hood, and gloves just in case. Booties are not mandatory for this break. They would be used more for walking down the dirt path and for warmth.

WiFI
We’ll have in the Baja House and it could be spotty. Your phone should work fine. Just check your plan for any international fees.

If we get to our Baja House and you forgot something, not to worry. We’re going to be just a few minutes from the local grocery store. We can always pick up what you need.
