One would think that a lot of duners are thinking that, they just don't want to say it out loud

 Haha. I don't disagree, TJ has always scared the ish out of me and I never stop when I go thorough it. Same with Rosarito btw. Have you been to Salina Cruz? You fly into Huatulco and get picked up by a taxi and drive 2 1/2hours to the camps, which is about an hour from Guatemala. The surfers that go their are literally the ONLY gringos for hundreds of miles. There's no tourism whatsoever. My son and I got chased in by a huge Bull shark our 1st time down there. Twice, I've had our guide (different trips and different guides) make calls to what they said were family members that were supposedly connected to the cartel, to "talk" to some locals that were giving us a hard time. After those calls, both guys were pretty much in tears and apologizing, promising to never act out again. The area is gnarly. That said, we had a great time and am going again in a little over a month.

Oh yeah buddy! Been there every year for the last 4 years. It got more crowded once the world surf tour went through. We stay in a poor little village in the back of some guys house, nothing fancy. He bangs on the door at 4 am, we load up and we go surf our brains out from sun up till we’re beat. This last trip we got it good, got some cranking surf. 
We fly out of Tijuana, so I guess I go across the border, apparently according to Jesse James I’m not a total pussy… 

Heres the last trip, no complaints, except that I was worn out.

Nice! Looks like La Bomba? Last year we stepped up our game and stayed at Las Palmeras which was alot nicer that staying in the city, this July staying at Punta Conejo resort which is the nicest of all. We too fly out of TJ. Curious if you ever surfed the beach break on the other side of the city, and through the Indian town? If there's some West in the swell, and the devil winds are blowing, its offshore and pumping. Spooky place though, just a weird vibe. Just 3 of us out and there would be these massive schools of stingrays that would swim right at us and then part, half going to the left, other to the right. Was going on for about an hour when a giant Bullshark surfaced about 15' from my boy. That thing had been chasing and eating those the whole time. Never paddled so hard in our lives! Scored though.

That is insane!!! Perfect! 
 

yep that was taken at la bamba, I’m impressed! We hit lighthouse a bunch and San Diego’s we got real good. 

 
Yore not going to convince me that Mexico is safe to visit and I am not going to convince you it is not.  

Some pretty drastic changes need to be made down there before I will go back.

 
We have been renting this house in a gated community in Mexico for 5 years now, the drive from our house is roughly 3 hours.  We love it and have never felt unsafe.  A couple things we do not do, we don't go out at night and we don't act like stupid Americans.  The one pic is my kids sitting on the beach from our Living Room.  We bring the Dog as well, he gets to play in the surf the entire time.
