I used to surf Scorpi...Looks like an alien world. <br /><br />I used to surf Scorpion Bay in Baja frequently with friends during the 70's & 80's. The waves were amazing, but the flat spells could be torturous. When the pyramid of beer cans in the camp reached the height of our tents, it was time for a surf sacrifice. So we'd gather a huge pile of dead cactus from the desert and have a massive bonfire on the cliff over looking the ocean. We'd catch the first scorpion to crawl out of the fire and pour a circle of gasoline around it. After lighting the gas if the scorpion charged into the flames, the flat spell would continue, but if the scorpion stung itself to death, then a new swell would arrive in three days.<br />Either way we would sit next to the fire and talk story until it burned out a few hours later.<br />The surf sacrifice has given way to high tech forecasting models. But the photo at the top goes well with my story.
