Words.Neal Kearney For West Coast surfers desperate to get a fix of powerful, top-to-bottom waves, traveling to Hawaii, Indonesia, or Tahiti can prove costly and exhausting.  Luckily there's always the option of heading down to our wave rich southern neighbor, Mexico.  For those only familiar with the dry, temperate climate of Baja, Mainland Mexico is a completely different story, complete with lush jungles and extremely warm water temp's.  The region is large, encompassing a number of states with hundreds of miles of surf able coastline.  From peeling points to ridiculously round river mouths, Mainland Mexico has it all. Flights from California are relatively cheap, as are dining and lodging expenses.  The people of Mexico may lack material wealth, yet make up for it in the richness of their culture and friendly attitudes.  Miles and miles of untapped coastline leaves plenty of options for explorers searching for some adventure and solitude.  Mainland Mexico serves as a great escape for any West Coast surfer looking for some cheap thrills.
