Rosarito, surf and sand competition

The last weekend in September, Jess and I took the moto all the way up to Rosarito! We had been told that it was only a half hour drive, but it took us well over an hour. Anyway, we went to check out a Surf and Sand competition we had seen advertised, and I'm really glad we made the trip. The event included a surf tournament, body board tournament, as well as a sand castle building and graffiti competitions.

The waves in Rosarito were really impressive, all morning they were at least head high and clean and right around noon they got huge! There were many good surfers and body boarders, but to be honest I have no idea who won the competitions.

Jess and I went out on the pier towards the end of the competition and we able to watch the surfers from up top. It was a great view. There was also a stage set up on the beach where they had bands performing, local, young talent.

We walked into the town as well to check out what they had to offer. Rosarito is a touristy town but more like a spring break destination, a little rougher (like Mexico's version of Sea Side). We both decided we like Ensenada much better. It was a great day though, beautiful sunny weather and a great scene.
