I got smashed here - I stayed right in front of el paso for one month in may 2002 I hired a house right on the point next to ramon riflin a famos soccer player. One day I went out at 8 feet. I got cleaned up by a close out and smashed on to the rocks on the 5 feet shorey it was the most scary experience of my life. If you go out there be careful or you will pay.
