Two years ago on Call of the Wind I made some uninformed and offhand comments about the motives of Kevin Trejo and Solo Sports. They were fairly cheap shots with no real experience to back them up. While I realize a few SoCal sailors agreed with me, I had no right to make those remarks. After lucking into a trip with Solo Sports this spring, I was able to fully open my mouth and insert my foot. Probably aware I was the punk who wrote that email, Kevin and his crew went out of their way to teach me about San Carlos and the Baja fates. Not to mention they took me a little further from kook and a little closer to wave sailor. I am personally against development on a large scale at San Carlos. But after my dream week with Kevin and Dale, my guess is they might be the people to protect what is left of the San Carlos Experience. Who knows, maybe I already missed it by being there this spring for the first time. But it sure was nice to walk around the Punta without all the little piles of waste Id heard about.

Really great to see that you have the guts to apologize for some earlier uninformed venting. If everyone did so, the venting section would be a very busy place indeed. San Carlos was becoming, literally, a crappy place until Solo leased it and started cleaning it up. To those of you who continue with your blowhard venting, remember that a foot in the mouth isnt very tasty, especially if youve stepped in some poop beforehand.

A few years ago a fellow
