    Baja’s Sea of Cortez coast. It has been the destination for

    adventurers seeking remote desert wilderness. Campers,

    fishermen, and paddle sport enthusiasts point south to discover

    something a bit more relaxed, something known as Baja time.


    With my inflatable SUP board rolled in a pack I flew to Baja

    during the winter of 2014 to experience a first of its kind paddle

    board expedition. Though I have paddled the entire 1,000-mile coast

    twice in a kayak, this was to be my first open water paddle board expedition.


    After arriving in San Jose del Cabo, I hitched rides, took buses,

    and hiked to Santa Rosalia.

    From there I addled over 300 miles south to La Paz. Supplying in Mulege

    and Loreto, crossing to islands, and meeting a variety of people along the way.


    My dream to stand up on the sea become a reality.

    More importantly, I was able to be fairly unburdened by gear while being

    self contained and to travel at a pace allowing him to take in the special

    place and begin to absorb what is Baja.
