BAJA WEEKENDER

Captain Manny V Safely Shows You The Epic Side Of Baja

What an amazing weekend getaway with my amazing mom friends...from lobster to surf to tacos to wine tasting (Xaroma was the best!) to more surf, the weekend was a perfect treat! Manny catered to the group's surf abilities and found the right waves for our crew. The food was always amazing, he knows the local sweet spots for food and everywhere we went they seemed to know him and were genuinely happy to see Manny. The weekend was relaxing with no decisions to make and a fun time every place we went...I would have loved an extra day or two just to fit more in! Thank you Manny for an amazing Mother's Day weekend with my friends.

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.

Manny made the trip unique with a private surf beak and enjoyable local cuisine. Manny knows every good food location and proprietor in the area.

Of course loads of Americans cross the border into Mexico all year long to enjoy all of the amazing things our neighboring country has to offer: the gracious Mexican people, the stunning natural beauty, the surf breaks, the food!! It's truly a wonderland. But I'm here to tell you that experiencing the adventure with Manny as your guide takes it to the next level! A van full of surf ladies, escorted by our amiable host, set off on Friday afternoon for our Epic journey. We were late getting into Puerto Nuevo for our lobster dinner, but our night was saved by a quick phone call to the owner of Manny's favorite lobster spot. The restaurant had closed, but opened up for us. An incredible lobster feast was served, we ate until we almost burst, and were beyond thankful to the hosts and Manny both. This was our first glimpse into the magic of having him with us. His relationships with the locals, built on respect and gratitude, is the special sauce. We experienced it at every turn. At Hortencia's K38 burrito stand, Manny was greeted with hugs. At the surf spot... more hugs. At the guard gate at Gaviotas, not hugs since these are big burly men, but heartfelt greetings just the same. When we

This was my first surf trip to Baja and Manny set the bars high for future trips! Manny's expertise of the surf breaks, best food spots and more made it a memorable experience. The accommodations that we were provided were amazing and would definitely stay there again! If you like to have waves all to yourself, eat delicious food, and have a personal photographer then this trip is for you. Can’t wait to go back! Thanks Manny!

Did the Baja weekender with Epic Surf Tours which was full of tasty food and tasty waves. Manny is an expert surf guide. He knows Baja well and was able to find us fun, uncrowded breaks despite finicky weather, different abilities of the group, and it being a holiday weekend. Having Manny as your guide means you’re spending more time actually surfing and less time figuring out which spot to choose, where to paddle out, and where to sit. At the end of the day, reviewing Mannys drone footage on day 1 also helped me catch 10x more waves by day 3. When we weren’t surfing, we were exploring the area and eating amazing food. Manny is a gem and every local we ran into seemed to adore him - probably because he’s so respectful and generous. Epic surf tours is an ethical and authentic surf vacation, where you can show up with your boards and let an expert plan the rest.

I initially had reservations about traveling across the border for just the weekend and the time it might take for logistics and the border crossings. Manny is such a pro that he has everything absolutely nailed down. There were no issues whatsoever and the trip was incredible easy and extremely well planned out. Manny knows all of the local breaks and knows what will be working best for any given conditions. He also knows exactly where to go for supplies, the best restaurants to go to and how to navigate everything with ease. The place we stayed was right over a terrific break, had great views and worked very well for our party. He takes great videos and pics for all of the surf sessions. The only thing I would have wished for was bigger surf!

My first time into Baja and Manny took care of everything! We really were so well looked after, from the secret surf spots to the best eats and more. Manny was super fun and really put up with our crazy group of Las Chicas Malas so well! An absolute treat! Thank you Many!

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!

I've been fortunate enough to go on numerous wave riding missions with Manny Vargas. My 1st trip dating back to Cabo freak fest '05. I recently got back from my 3rd Baja weekender. Manny knows every wave and caters to the board you choose to ride. My bodyboarding group scored a secret wedge that I was hoping to ride for a while. Not only are there waves, the trip include lots of tasty food such as Breakfast Burritos, Tacos and Lobster. Thanks for showing me a great time MV. I'll see you on the next trip!
