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.

Excellent reference material for a complicated trip. Felt secure knowing we were insured through...aja Bound but really greatful for the full explanation of how to get our Baja Sur documentation done!

A very easy to use website and good selection and rates. In the 10 years I have travelled in Baja,... this is the only site I have used.

Have been driving to Mexico for the past 15 years and have always used Baja Bound Insurance. This...past trip I ended up getting HDI Seguros through Baja Bound. Unfortunately we got carjacked and lost everything we had. The good news I was able to file a claim with HDI Seguros and the third party International Claims Service that deals with the claims on the US side did an excellent job. I was able to receive my check in about 6 weeks from start to finish. I also believe I got a fair price for my stolen vehicle. If I were ever to drive to Mexico again I would definitely choose Baja Bound again.
