Around The World In 80 Waves

Whilst having a coffee and taking in the view from my beachfront balcony at the Estero Beach Resort I am pounced on by a young dog, who it turns out is owned by an American surfer called David who has treated his family to a few days there. We are having a chat about the local breaks and my plans, when he tells me that the jewel in the crown of the next section of coastline is the break known as ‘The Wall’ at Punta Rosarito. They think it will take me to days driving to get there and even though I am itching to get in the water I decide it can do my plans no harm for me to put some miles under the wheels of the little green surf machine.

I am driving all day and apart from a venue of Turkey Vultures picking the flesh of a dead donkey at the side of the road, there really wasn’t much to report other than the different types of desert that I cross in the bug, barely seeing a soul all day.

There was:

Curved desert

Cacti desert

Bushy desert

Dusty desert

Dark desert

Rocky desert

Fairground desert

Mountain desert 

A bit of everything desert

And finally dazzling desert
