The waiting period for the 2011 Peligroso At Todos Santos big wave surf contest is under way! After the grassroots success of the Todos Santos Event that was won by Mark Healey in 2010, Peligroso Tequila signed on as the title sponsor for the 2011 contest and
will be offering up an impressive $30,000 purse for the overall event winner. Between now and February 28th, the best big wave surfers in the world will be on call in hopes that mother nature cooperates and serves up the required 30 foot surf to run the contest.
Invitees for the contest include: Mark Healey, Carlos Burle, Greg Long, Jamie Sterling, Kohl Christensen, Chris Bertish, Grant "Twiggy" Baker, Peter Mel, Shane Desmond, Anthony Tashnick, Ramon Navarro, Marcos Monteiro, Kelly Slater, Cristian Merello, Shane Dorian, Kealii Mamala, Grant Washburn, Ken "Skindog" Collins, Coco Nogales, Rusty Long and Dave Wassel. New to this years event will be an early "local heat" of Todos Santos regulars who will compete for a spot in the main event. The local heat will include Garth Engelhorn, Derek Dunfee, Diego Pertusso, TJ Seaman, David Rutherford, Will Dillon, John Walla and Juan Valdivia.
Check out the trailer below with some of the highlights and horrific wipeouts from the contest last year, along with some commentary from the surfers.
Buying insurance on line is the most efficient way to go.

I purchased insurance through them & CHUBB for our trip to San Felipe. Unfortunately, we had to...ncel due to our vehicle having an oil leak the night we were supposed to head out. With all going on I did not think to call the insurance right away & cancel the policy however I did call right after the policy had been over. I called Baja Bound & spoke to Yara & she advised me to send in my paperwork of the repairs with when we submitted the vehicle to the mechanic & that it was worth a shot. I was amazed by the service I recieved from Yara & Baja Bound. They were quick & easy to work with & were able to reimburse me for the policy I had purchased. I will now ensure I use Baja Bound & CHUBB for future travels.
P.S. its recommended to cancel the policy asap if something does happen & your plans were cancelled for what ever reason.

Purchasing process was easy. First time I have bought Mexican insurance online. Before I would stop...p somewhere in San Diego close to the border. I haven't done any claims so I cannot review about the claim process.
