I am starting to think this is a bunch of creative writting?
I am not saying it is 100% bull shit, but many things just don't add up IMO.
If it really happend, it sucks and I feel bad for them guys and glad they are ok. There has to be more or less to the story if it is true.
IMHO- this looks like some local peeps want to keep the the surf spots less crowded.
None the less, safety in numbers. There is crime in baja and crime in the USA. It is what it is.
