Reliving the Chaos and Glory of the Ultimate Mexican Surf Trip
In this gritty and hilarious strip, Bob Penuelas captures the true spirit of a Baja strike mission through a series of “True Baja Campfire Stories”. As Wilbur and his crew huddle around a desert fire, they recount the “Baja Tax” paid for perfect waves: from giant sea lions biting off toes to scorpions laying eggs in ears. Despite busted axles, vulture attacks, and flash floods washing vehicles down gulches, the refrain remains the same—the waves were so good!. It is a masterpiece of stippled detail that perfectly balances the agony of travel with the ecstasy of the ride.
