Injured Surfing A Remote Beach In Baja - Van Life Mexico

In episode 203, we finally find waves and I (Kevin) get to surf in Baja again for the first time in 3 years. This was a spot we'd never been to before due to the 40-minute drive on a gravel/sandy road with zero amenities. Unfortunately, we had an injury during the first session that could have caused a serious wrench in the entire trip, but luckily nurse Taylor came to the rescue and got it all sorted out.

    So I have a PSA. Been following these people for a few years now. From Uncle Kev to Auntie Tay. 1. They have the very best videos for building a van 2. Taylore is still in shape 3. Kevin now has grey hair 4. We have a new nephew named Wyatt who is undoubtedly the most adorable addition to your vanlife video experience

    What a fun few days. Looks very relaxing-probably between baby and KZread responsibilities? Minus the cheese grater of course. Sounds like some enterprising local should be operating a certified filtered water delivery service maybe with some fresh groceries. You guys with solar could stay out longer.

    We scored, i fell in love with the spot, the forecast said it was going to be bigger which I guess brought the crowd. Starlink certainly is a cause to more crowds too, but we’re part of that problem!
