Baja and Mex. early surfing book promo San Diego Fri. Aug 19

At Bird's Surf Shed 6 to 10 PM  1091 W. Morena  619 276 2473.  Sounds interesting especially if there are pictures.

Bird has invited me to attend.    And I will.    Going to be a fun event, IMO.   Drop by and say hello. 

Up top for the San Diego crew

My opinion was correct.     It was a fun event.     The history of surfing, in Mexico, was a new revelation to me.   Like many near the border, I crossed over and surfed frequently, but never thought of it from the Mexican perspective.    I found this presentation quite interesting, and informative.    The venue was a glimpse into surf culture of old.  I recommend a visit to Bird's Surf Shed, if you are in the area on a trip, and especially if you are a San Diego area local.

Like so many that surfed in San Diego I spent a lot of time Surfing Baja. great memories, some a bit foggy from a few to many at Hussong's.  

I'll have to look for the book once it is released.

 

Any body know the name of the book and the author’s name? There was a guy on here about two years ago asking people to send him their experiences of early days surfing in Mexico as research for a book. I sent him some stuff. I wonder if it is the same guy.
