General Meeting - August 25, 2010
Santiago Berrueta: Kayaking in Baja
Meeting Location and Time
We are fortunate to have Santiago Berrueta in town to describe
the beauty and challenges of kayaking in Baja at our August meeting.
Santiago is from México. He is been guiding sea kayak trips on the
coast of Baja since 2006. Over the years he has guided countless
day-trips, led over 50 multiday commercial kayak expeditions,
paddled the fjords of Saguenay in Quebec next to beluga whales,
served as a guide in Northern California, experienced the currents
of the Columbia River and surfed the Mexican Pacific.
Recently he took off for his longest expedition: a 500 nautical
mile journey along the Baja Peninsula. The trip lasted for 42
days and proved to be both challenging and fun. Santiago is
a member of the BCU, graduated from NOLS and is certified as
WFR. He has a multi-faceted approach to the sport, focusing on
expeditions, rolling and hard skills. He can be contacted at
santiagoatl@yahoo.com.mx.
