detorres Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Looking for recommendations, guidance on some warm water paddling in Mexico/Baja, preferably one catering to experienced paddlers.ThanksPablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfolster Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Jen Kleck (BCU 5*) in San Diego loves that area and does trips down there . . . http://www.aqua-adventures.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prudenceb Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Also, Ginni Callahan, another BCU 5*, runs www.seakayakbajamexico.com. She and Jen are both terrific coaches and people. Ginnie has a center down there, with very good equipment (NDk boats, Werner and Greenland paddles etc) and trips tailored to different skill levels. I've wanted to do Baja...maybe next winter...and would be completely satisfied with either Jen or Ginni. Pru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Allen Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 and just to be more clear Jen is a BCU L5 coach. ;-)bestPhil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leong Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Actually, to be even more specific, I believe that Jen is America’s first BCU Level 5 sea kayak coach.Nice gal, she dug up a wing for me the last time I was in San Diego.-Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prudenceb Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sorry for misposting about the number of stars. When you're looking up at all these fabulous paddlers from my lowly view, it all looks pretty sparkly to me!To clarify: Ginni is a 5* sea leader, as opposed to coach according to web site...pru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scamlin Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Just want to echo Pru's recommendation of Ginni Callahan of Sea Kayak Baja Mexico in Loreto. I attended a talk she gave at the an Auckland kayak club a couple of weeks ago. Very impressed with her and her operation. She was in New Zealand for a month or more giving lessons and tours--good feedback from club members who had attended. She confirmed they use NDK boats and also that they will rent boats to qualified kayakers without a guide. They are knowledgeable about paddling both the Gulf of California (inside the penninsula) as well as the Pacific coast.Good vibes and passionate about Baja paddling.
