Longboard Sharks De-Finned by Mysterious Invaders at Remote Baja Location
November 14, 2007
PRESS RELEASE

Apparent extreme wave hogging and bad attitudes by a group of visiting longboarders created high tension at a remote Baja surf spot on this last south swell. After multiple days of drop ins, back paddling, disrespect for other visitors and the locals, this crew of longboarders woke up one morning to find all of their fins missing from their longboards. Obviously someone had quietly visited their camp in the dead of night to complete the deed, supposedly the removal of some 40 fins without anyone waking up!

Word is, this group of longboarders left the next day because they could no longer surf and nobody would lend them fins due to their past rude behavior. Ironically, the fins seemed to have turned up at the surf spot and there are even photos of them online at http://scorpionbayjustice.blogspot.com . There is also some talk about creating some sort of monument of the fins encased in concrete on the tip of the point as a reminder for visitors to always share waves with respect for others. As always, crazy stuff in Baja and we travel at our own risk...
