We have not spoken to or heard from Brian or Anthony since Saturday, July 21.  Family members are getting nervous.  If anyone has seen or heard from either of them, please comment on this post or shoot me an email at mike@schoolbustobaja.com.

So we are currently experiencing a prolonged flatspell - not exactly what you hope for on a surf trip. There is speculation of a small groundswell moving from the South towards our area in the next week, however, this is quite a ways away and reports made in advanced can be altered at any time depending on the weather conditions and so forth. With the current plan being that we stay at our current location, San Pedrito, until midweek and then make our way a little North to Punta Conejo, where we will once again reunite with the notorious Kelso.

After all this time on the road, we have made a large dent in our food supply, except for our 50-pound bag a rice of course (we ate a significant amount though). After calculating an estimated time of stay here in Baja, we’ve come to the conclusion that we will just have enough food to last us until our departure. But in case we run out, there is always rice and Ramon (our last case scenario backup backup food). We try to minimize weekly trips to the local markets to pick up a few things here and there, but at some times we just can’t resist. Our oatmeal ran out a week ago, so now we are starting our days off with delicious pancakes, that, according to the box, is just add water. Everything else is great though. Ant and I are healthy and well; just awaiting that epic day of barrels. Although there hasn’t been the most ideal conditions lately, we have been bodysurfing, and swimming everyday.

The other night has Anthony and I just started eating our dinner meal, we spot a bunch of fishermen going crazy by the shore. We look up and there must of been thousands of fish just going bonkers in the sea. We are talking about frantic fish just swimming around and jumping out of the water like it was some kind of Olympic event. As soon as we spot this phenomenon, we grabbed the pole and headed down to the water to test our skills, and our luck. After much time of our lure getting caught on the rocks, and our countless casts returning fishless, we decided to give up and return to our already made meal. Maybe next time.

We have some photos of the past couple of days. It’s not much but they are definitely worth checking out. Thanks for keeping up with us . Stay stoked and smile…always!

Hey all. Here at our usual spot of Cerritos, the surf has been on a downward cycle, but there is a nice south swell brewing which should hit us around the weekend producing at least head-high surf. We don’t really have a general idea of when we are leaving, but we are not really concerned - being of that’s how things work down here. We live by the words of: when the waves depart, so shall we. There is a small group of friends down here that are planning a little convoy up to a spot called Punta Conejo, which is 2 hours north of our very location. The plan at the moment is to meet them up there when the time is right to share surf, stories, and good times. We have no clue how the internet situation will be like up there, so enjoy the frequent updates while you can. We’ve just put up a couple more pictures in the gallery, so be sure to check those out while you can. We’re off to find some shade, so stay healthy and stay good.

Since we know all of you are curious of what we have been up to; here is a short clip of our campsite and the spot we’ve been calling home for the last couple of days. Enjoy.
