What is Surfsipuedes and the Bajasur Tour? The Bajasur Tour is a surf circuit of Baja California Sur, Mexico. The first tour of its kind, the Bajasur Tour aims to promote the sport and culture of surfing in Mexico. The tour cycle consists of four main events or days. Surfers earn points at each of the events or competition days on the tour, and the surfer with the most points at the end of competition wins.

Surfsipuedes is a Mexican surf company "dedicated to promoting the sport and culture of surfing in Mexico." In addition to running the Bajasur Tour, Surfsipuedes manufactures and sells custom surf boards and surf apparel. On their website you can find information about surf lessons and surf trips, the surf forecast for Mexico, and an online store where you can purchase their surf boards and surf apparel.
