Description

Bad Karma: The True Story of a Mexico Trip from Hell tells the harrowing tale of Paul Wilson's ill-fated surf trip to mainland Mexico in 1978. With no money and a determination to prove himself, Wilson makes a reckless decision that sets him on a path of survival rather than surfing.

As he navigates the treacherous landscape of drug cartel country, Wilson discovers that one of his companions is a convicted killer on the run, while the other is an unscrupulous individual with no qualms about exploiting those around him. The trip quickly descends into chaos, and mere survival becomes the top priority.

With original photographs from the time period, including images of notorious figures such as El Chapo, Wilson's account is a gripping and personal narrative that echoes the style of Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer and Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto "Che" Guevara. This true story was finally able to be told once the statute of limitations had expired.
