BAJA WEEKENDER

Captain Manny V Safely Shows You The Epic Side Of Baja

Incredible weekend surfing great waves with friends. The food was a highlight of the trip and the people were even better! The house sits right on the ocean with stunning views of Baja and the surf conditions below. Manny is not only an amazing leader and surfer but he's an awesome photographer/videographer. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone and I can't wait to do another one!

I am so happy I went on the Baja Weekender. I expected it to be a lot of surfing and good times, and that's exactly what it was. All five of us, three of whom knew each other before we went, were talking in the car on our way to one of the breaks about how great the trip was, how it was so awesome to not have to figure out any of the logistics and get to completely concentrate on surfing hard, relaxing whenever we weren't in the water, and not worrying about anything. Manny is a great traveler and super easy to talk to and get along with. The entire time he pointed out things that were interesting along the road, we stopped at some delicious restaurants and also roadside stands (that I had always been too timid in my previous travels in the area to stop at). From pitaya sorbet to delicious burritos at the roadside stands, we were always getting to see parts of Baja from an experienced point of view. The photos and drone shots were great, and he gave us helpful insight on what to modify, from stance to paddling to where to look on the wave, etc. I wouldn't hesitate to book again, in fact, I'm already planning my next trip with epic surf tours.

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!

This trip is exactly what I needed!! No stress, no worries, Manny's got you covered. All I did was surf and eat my brains out!!! Manny has this trip soo dialed in I didn't even have to look at a menu. "What's for lunch Manny?" Lol... His years of making connections with the locals, partnerships with restaurants and housing, and the length he goes to make sure you enjoy yourself are extremely impressive. Everyone knows him and treats us like kings and queens. He knows all the best surf spots and his photos and videos are awesome. The house is beautiful!!! Everything you can want. Pool, check, Jacuzzi, check, and soo much more. He's great at breaking the ice and making people on the trip who just met feel like old friends. As soon as I came home I started booking the next trip!!

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.

Good gosh...could we have had a better time? Everything was planned and executed to a "T". Manny took care of everything... from getting us safely down to Mexico with the least effort on our part, keeping us well fed, taking us to the best surf spots, filming, droning and photographing our every wave, providing sightseeing and shopping excursions, and just being an overall excellent tour guide. He is so knowledgeable about the area. I hadn't been to Mexico in years and am now ready to go back tomorrow! Manny is the consummate professional. I wish I had more words to describe and convey what a great time I, as well as the rest of the crew, had. Will definitely book another trip as soon as I can! Thanks again Manny!! You're the best!!

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

Short but sweet! This trip is amazing. Manny really knows the ins and outs of the area, the break and the food! It was so rad getting to break down the surf video and review the break. This weekend gave me plenty to work on now that I'm home.

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.

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.

Glassy waves, near-empty lineups and lobster -- what else could you want from a Baja surf weekend? Manny V is a fun, chill guide who is dialed in to all the best breaks and restaurants, speaks fluent Spanish, knows the locals and is all about making sure you have a great time. Our group of five women felt totally safe in and out of the water. Can't wait for the next one!
