BAJA WEEKENDER

Captain Manny V Safely Shows You The Epic Side Of Baja

Just completed the BAJA WEEKENDER. Manny is the best surfer guide, best food guide and best winery guide. He knows everyone around. All the places we went to had the nicest people and the greatest service. We were a group of beginner surfers and Manny took us to the most chill and uncrowded surf spots. Plus, the photos are legendary!

WOW, just wow. I went into the weekend with no expectations as I didn’t know what to expect but by Monday I was blown away (and exhausted ?) All weekend we were led by Manny to incredible surf, cuisine, hospitality and along the way he was anticipating every need. Manny was on top of anything and everything. We were brought to some incredible breathtaking surf spots with epic rights and soft beautiful waves. The food on this trip was outstanding and everywhere we went we felt and were treated so very welcomed and always left full. The accommodations are within walking distance of surf and a private beach. The house was big enough for everyone to enjoy and have their own private space. I will be back, sooner than later! Thank you for such a great weekend!

I have been on this trip probably 4 times now and I can say that IT NEVER GETS OLD! Manny is truly the very best at what he does. When you go to Baja with Manny you'll find empty surf, bomb ass food, and meet great friends along the way. More importantly it's SAFE! Manny's decades of experience traveling in Baja shows. You can feel free to enjoy your time because Manny has got you covered. Oh, last BIG bonus - Manny is an excellent photographer so you'll walk away with your memories documented and a full album of photos!! Thanks Manny!! So many waves, so many memories. Can't wait to book my next Baja Weekender!

Manny is extremely knowledgeable with trip-planning in Baja and was such a great tour guide. The Baja House is situated at an ideal spot for a weekend getaway, we had so much fun - surf, eat, drink on repeat.

Manny knows what he is doing! Our trip was seamless from start to finish and was so much fun. Manny has a way of keeping things moving while also not making anyone feel pressured on time and letting the group go with the flow. He knows Mexico - and the places he leads tours - like the back of his hand. We felt safe the whole time and had such a blast. I highly recommend doing a tour with Manny. It'll be one of the best trips of your life!

A shout out to @mannyvmedia for an @epicsurftours weekender in Baja. Epic lobster, shrimp, burritos & margaritas. Fun waves (that I couldn’t surf due to my torn hamstring, stupid Pickle Ball ?). The Guadalupe Valley winery tour was awesome. The accommodation was killer. Our #caminovino surf van was rockin’. Loved traveling with my adventurous surf mammas @hollygrayfun @srmlanger @yvette_sestak @kimberlybenumof @emhbmom I hadn’t been to Baja in almost 20 years & I plan on being a regular with Manny V on this & his other adventures. Reach out to him & go! #doepicshit #lifesshort #bajaweekender #epicsurftours #ebodyboarding #surftravel #bodyboarding

I seriously could not have asked for a better trip. This truly felt like an authentic Mexican surf experience. You're not at some fancy big surf school. You're not at some crowded public beach. You're in a private beach house overlooking your own secret surf spot. Manny was not only super chill and super welcoming, but he's been making this trip for years, and he knows the area and many of the locals from the surrounding communities. So you really feel like you're getting to experience a real slice of Mexico. I could write on and on about the trip, but I'll just end it by saying it was an experience I'll remember forever, and I definitely plan on doing it again. #DoEpicShit

Epic Surf Tours is by far one of the best surf tour companies I have gone to. I loved everything about this trip including the food, accommodations, and most importantly Manny who was amazing. Manny made sure everyone was comfortable and had everything we needed for this adventure. Manny has such a passion for his company and his love of the ocean that I highly recommend this trip. I look forward to sharing this adventure with my daughter for her 21st birthday next year. This is by far a 5 star company. Thank you Manny for everything.

MANNY IS THE MAN!!!! I've gone on a couple Baja weekenders with him, and he has never disappointed! Great food, great waves, great company! If I had one criticism, it would be that the tacos were too good. I mean, you figure "OMG surfing all day, I'm going to come home soooo skinny!" Then 900 tortillas later, all that fit are sweatpants. Thanks manny. Thanks A LOT.

A huge thanks to Manny for our first-ever (long-anticipated, much-hyped) surf trip to Mexico. We felt so safe and supported, and it was such a fun excursion knowing that Manny was so well-prepared and thought through every detail possible. The surf photography and videos were such a special treat, a

Here’s a sample of a two and a half day surf strike itinerary:

Friday
Your two-night Baja Weekender trip begins when the group meets in Imperial Beach at 1pm on Friday. Our goal is to arrive at our surf house just in time to get in a sunset surf (conditions permitting, of course). Before crossing into Mexico, we stop to get our tourist cards at the immigration office right at the border. Then, we continue southbound. Once we get to our home for the weekend, I'll go over some house items and what's in store for the weekend. After rooms have been divided up, we suit and surf or chill and take in the sunset!

After frothing from a solid surf or feeling relaxed after a chill session, we'll freshen up and head up the road to one of Manny's favorite taco spots. You'll feast on tasty carne asada or adobada tacos, tortas or quesadillas. Gluten-free/vegetarian options include avocado tacos and quesadillas.

At some point, we will make a food run to the local grocery store.

If we surfed this afternoon, we'll have a slideshow from the session before calling it a night.

Saturday
Dawn patrol. Coffee will be ready before the first person wakes up. Light snacks and bananas will be available for those who like to eat before surfing. Manny knows that not everyone is an early riser. That's the beauty of staying just steps from the surf break. You surf when you want. Once everyone has had their fair share of fun, Manny V will have breakfast ready. You'll have a few hours to chill or surf again. Then, we'll head for lunch to one of Manny's favorite lunch spots! If time permits we'll head to K-38 Surf Shop to pick up some surf souvenirs.

After lunch, we'll check the conditions and get back out there if it's good. Each session will end with a slide show of the photos and videos taken of your surf. At sunset, we'll get ready and head out for a delicious lobster dinner at the cool village of Puerto Nuevo. If you still have energy after dinner, we'll watch your photos and video clips, and go over tips to improve your surfing.

Sunday
You'll wake up to hot coffee/tea and check the surf. This will be our last surf session on the trip. We will have a light breakfast to hold us over 'til lunch. Once the car is loaded up and the house is clean, we're off to grab some tamales or tacos before we hit the road back home.

Manny has a system in place to get you across the border in less than an hour. Of course, things may come up but it's been pretty consistent for crossing under an hour. To make this happen, we have to pack up and leave at 10am. Our goal is to be across the border by 1pm-2pm.

My ultimate goal with all my trips is to ensure a safe fun weekend. Please, by all means, email or call me back with any and all questions. I'm here for ya. Email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call 619-788-2456.
