Baja Surf Club Our mission is to support our youth, protect our coasts, and to always show a positive image of Baja and California surfers through charity and surf comps.

In the year of 1965 Ignacio 'Nacho' Felix Cota, Carlos Hernandez, and Walter Rudametkin founded at San Miguel beach, in Ensenada, Baja California, the first ever Mexican Surf Club, The Baja Surf Club. Their goals were to organize regional and national tournaments, explore the Mexican coast, participate in California contests and in the future, organize an international contest in San Miguel inviting the main surfing stars and clubs of California, Hawaii, and Peru.
-Tribe of the Waves, Memories of Mexican Surfing by Ignacio Felix Cota. In January of 2015 (50 yrs. later) a group of Baja and California surfers gathered together at Bird's Surf Shed in San Diego, CA for the rebirth of the Baja Surf Club. Our Mission to support our youth for a brighter future, protect our coasts, and to always show a positive image of Baja and California surfers through charity and surf competitions.

Congratulations to Serge Dedina, Ph.D., Executive Director and Co-Founder of WILDCOAST, who was honored with the Inspiring Activism Award at The Ohana Fest, the annual beachfront music and activism festival curated by Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder. The award recognizes Dedina’s decades of work advancing marine conservation, coastal preservation, and environmental advocacy across the U.S. and Mexico.
Since co-founding WILDCOAST in 2000, Dedina has helped lead efforts to protect gray whale habitat in Baja California, advance sea turtle recovery, preserve coastal ecosystems, establish and manage marine protected areas, and address pollution in the Tijuana River watershed.
As Dedina shared, the recognition extends far beyond one individual: “This recognition belongs to our entire team at WILDCOAST and the coastal communities fighting every day to protect our oceans and coastlines.”
Congratulations to Serge and the entire WILDCOAST team on this well-deserved recognition and their continued commitment to protecting our coastlines and oceans.

🌊 BATTLE OF THE CITIES 2026 🏆
5 de septiembre — Un día histórico para el surf de Baja

La historia se escribió en Playa Raul’s. 🇲🇽

El Baja Surf Club, junto con la Asociación de Surf de Baja California, presentó por primera vez en Baja California y en México el formato de competencia por equipos Boardriders.

Tijuana. Rosarito. Ensenada.
3 ciudades. 3 equipos. 21 surfers por club. Un solo océano. 🤙🏼

🏆 ROSARITO — CAMPEONES 🥇 103.02 puntos
🥈 Ensenada 2do. 81.4 puntos
🥉 Tijuana 3ero. 64.95 puntos

¡Felicidades a Rosarito, los primeros campeones en la historia del Battle of the Cities! 🔥🏆

Pero este día fue mucho más que ganar un trofeo.

El movimiento Boardriders tiene profundas raíces en Australia, donde durante décadas los clubes han sido una parte fundamental de la cultura del surf, la formación de nuevos talentos y el desarrollo de la competencia. En Estados Unidos, el movimiento tomó gran fuerza hace aproximadamente 10 años y en los últimos años ha explotado, creando nuevas oportunidades para surfers de todas las edades.

Ahora ese movimiento llegó a México. 🇲🇽🌊

Y estamos orgullosos de ser parte de este comienzo en Baja California.

Lo que vivimos fue algo muy especial: diferentes generaciones y diferentes ciudades compitiendo juntas con respeto, amistad, compañerismo, trabajo en equipo, honor y espíritu de aloha.

Y las olas también hicieron su parte. ☀️🌊
Un excelente swell del sur y suroeste, poco viento y olas derechas e izquierdas hicieron de Playa Raul’s el escenario perfecto para este primer evento histórico.

Estamos muy orgullosos de todos los surfers que representaron a sus ciudades y de todos los que hicieron posible este día.

Esto apenas comienza.

El Baja Boardriders seguirá trabajando para identificar y desarrollar a los mejores surfers de Baja California, con la meta de formar un equipo que represente a nuestra región en U.S. Board Riders y más allá. 🌎

Tenemos el talento.
Tenemos las olas.
Tenemos la comunidad.

Ahora toca organizarnos, entrenar y seguir construyendo juntos.

🇲🇽🌊 El futuro del surf de Baja California es brillante.

🏆 Battle of the Cities 2026 — ROSARITO CAMPEÓN.

Esto es historia. Esto es comunidad. Esto apenas comienza. 🤙🏼

🌊 BATTLE OF THE CITIES 2026 🏆
September 5th — A Historic Day for Baja Surfing

History was made at Playa Raul’s. 🇲🇽

The Baja Surf Club, together with the Baja California Surf Association, introduced the Boardriders team format to Baja California and Mexico for the very first time.

Tijuana. Rosarito. Ensenada.
3 cities. 3 teams. 21 surfers per club. One ocean. 🤙🏼

🏆 ROSARITO — CHAMPIONS 🥇
🥈 Ensenada
🥉 Tijuana

Congratulations to Rosarito for becoming the first-ever Battle of the Cities champions! 🔥

But this day was about much more than a trophy.

The Boardriders movement has deep roots in Australia, where team-based surf clubs have been an important part of surf culture and talent development for decades. The movement later took off in the United States, growing tremendously over the past 10 years.

Now Baja is part of that movement. 🌊🇲🇽

What we witnessed was something special: different generations, different cities, competing together with respect, friendship, teamwork, honor and aloha spirit.

And the waves delivered! ☀️
A solid south/southwest swell, light winds, and incredible lefts and rights made Playa Raul’s the perfect stage for this historic first event.

We are incredibly proud of every surfer who showed up and represented their city.

This is only the beginning.

The goal is to keep building, keep training, develop our young talent, and create opportunities for Baja surfers to compete at the next level — including U.S. Board Riders and beyond. 🌎

We have the talent.
We have the waves.
We have the community.

Now let’s build the future together. 🤙🏼

🇲🇽 BATTLE OF THE CITIES 2026
🏆 ROSARITO — FIRST CHAMPIONS
🌊 THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
