  • 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.

    Wyatt sure smiles a lot.
    He must be enjoying the trip!

    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

    The first time I didn't were my surf booties, in an area where I knew the oyster beds were, an oyster reminded the sole/soul of my foot for 2 months.
    I feel your pain. Booties forever.

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  Před 2 měsíci +2

      Ouchhhh 😫 that sounds painful, luckily that was the only ouch of my trip so far!

    The view out the van door must be pretty good at 8:10 that Kevin gets lost in thought for almost a minute :)

    Awesome video! Nice surfing except for the injury. You got bandaged and avocado toast though. Taylor’s amazing! Wyatt seemed to know you were hurt, and he gets cuter every day. My wife and I love seeing him! Can’t wait for the next video! 👍

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  Před 2 měsíci +1

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  Před 2 měsíci +2

    Hey... bumps, bruises and scrapes are all part of the BAJA EXPERIENCE! 🤕
    Why be like those that like to play it safe?... by taking the family to Disneyworld or worse yet on a cruise boat vacation! 👎🤣
    Reflecting upon a morning's adventure while downing a few Coronas 🍺... PRiCELESS!
    We are the lucky chosen few who get to experience life on these terms in such a magical place!
    NICE SURF SETS... GREAT VLOG... KEEP EM' COMING FROM SOUTH OF THE BORDER! ☀🌵😎

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Hahaha I hear ya Lee, BUT there may be a cruise trip lined up in our near future (trying to get a steep discount on one) so don’t be mad at me if ya see a video hahaha
      Yes we are I was just saying that to Taylor we are so incredibly lucky to do what we do!

    Great job guys! Another great video! It made for a great Tuesday. Wyatt is the cutest! Eyes just like my little Irish Jack! (3 years old)❤

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Thank you John! We love his eyes, sounds like Jacks are beauty’s too!

  • @dmwi1549

    What a fun few days.
    Looks very relaxing-probably between baby and CZcams 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.

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  Před 2 měsíci +1

      That be sweet!!!!! Yep water and food is the only thing keeping us from staying out longer!

  • @malimish
    @malimish Před 2 měsíci

    You got it really good. Conejo is usually super windy like you were there on the first day. I've never seen it so crowded!

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  Před 2 měsíci

      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!

  • @andyholcomb4762
    @andyholcomb4762 Před 2 měsíci +1

    OUCH! Love this video. How is the Velit 12 volt AC holdoing up? Also which bug screens are you using? they look great!

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  Před 2 měsíci +2

      Thank you! The AC works good we primarily use it at night to cool off. The bug screens are awesome! They’re from The Wanderful Soft Goods. Here’s our affiliate link if you’re interested in supporting us!!! 🙌🏻

    As soon as you headed to the water I was thinking , there are a lot of rocks, why isn’t he wearing something on his feet?

    Love this vid! Baja looks like the dream. Do you guys have a 4x4 or AWD and is it the L3?

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  Před 2 měsíci

      It’s awesome!!! Yep we have 4x4, but we didn’t have 4x4 the first time we visited here

    @froth_van Před 2 měsíci

    Hey! What are your thought's on the Malo'o Drying Rack? Been in the cart for a while but I've never hit go. Game changer? or just as good throwing a wetsuit/towel over the side mirror?

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  Před 2 měsíci

      I like it since it keeps the van’s paint from getting salt water on it!

    Did you do anything special to get full screen CarPlay on your entertainment center? Mine seems to have black bars on both sides in my sprinter.

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Nope this is an aftermarket one though, not the OEM (not sure what you have?)
