Baja Malibu
Baja Malibu is a long, mellow right point just south of the US-Mexico border that has become popular with longboarders seeking easy waves. The wave offers long rides without much power, making it ideal for cruisy sessions and nose-riding. Its proximity to Tijuana makes it one of the most accessible Baja spots.
